One of the Best Internships Around

Pros

Laid Back Workplace Patient Managers Ability to learn new areas of business and technology Visibility to senior leadership Feel like part of a team Respected, even at the intern level

Cons

The fact of the matter is that there are obviously many things that managers need to do and it only takes some time for them to teach others, so interns would love to help out even more, even though they are still given work

Pros

Great name recognition - Top leadership seems like they care. MetLife has a great reputation and works with the middle market as well as high net worth. That says a lot for their capabilities.

Cons

Too many changes way too often -- too hard to keep up with changes -- like turning the Titantic! Little feedback from managers Poor compensation

Pros

Flexible work environment. I worked from home as did the rest of my team. We were scattered among cities throughout the US.

Cons

No real sense of team. Managing a virtual team is difficult, especially when you can't get together in person that often. Working from home is great, but it should be balanced with (maybe) monthly in person meetings? The office politics were awful. During "OpEx" decisions were made to let people in closed door gossip sessions that reminded me of fraternity and sorority "black ball" sessions. Not enough focus on results based projects, more focus on political aspects of the persons' career. It made me uncomfortable to be a part of.
