Pros

Campus is nice. Starbucks coffee bar and fitness center. Online training opportunities. Nice bonuses. Good place to work if you’re a contractor because you make good money.

Cons

Be prepared to work with Vice Presidents and directors are put into people management positions with inadequate leadership talent or training.

Pros

* Lots of energetic employees * Good health benefits * Decent PTO and retirement benefits * Rapidly expanding base in Raleigh-Durham

Cons

* Erratic recruiting practices: I saw a BA with 20 years' experience hired in an entry-level position, and a junior BA who I worked with previously (and functioned at the junior level) hired as a team lead * Middle management is relatively unskilled * Poor communication to "transitioned" employees: one NY employee on my team was preparing to relocate to Raleigh for the job, but his replacement had already started and no one communicated this to him * Change is preached, but inside, it's all silos and no one is open to transformation

Pros

I do not currently have any pros to add for MetLife

Cons

Poor work life balance. Management is indecisive in what direction they are heading. No loyalty to employees and expect employees to be loyal. Excessive amount of contractors vs fte. Culture is bad since selling off the retail business.
