      Personal growth

      Assistant vice president

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is in-flux, lots of changes, and hence lots of potential opportunities to move around and experience different types of working environments and new challenging assignments.

      Cons

      old gossipy culture of indecision, lots of committees and meetings, lots of backstabbing conversations in the hallways, too much politics... meets new top management from investment banking driving deep cuts and aggressive changes the investment banking style. Two cultures are clashing, changes are HUGE, and while the company may emerge victorious, lots of "bodies" along the way are inevitable. If you decide to join, have appetite for this and be prepared to jump.

      Outstanding company, but inconsistent experience for associates

      It manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A company that you can be proud to work for. Decent pay and benefits. Incredible work/life balance (depending on the organization) Pockets of excellence and some really cutting-edge architecture, technology and behaviors Some of the best people that I've ever had the pleasure of working with Lots of opportunity to contribute (depending on your manager)

      Cons

      Small pockets of political backstabbing and "culture of blame" groups. Pockets of outdated technology and behaviors. No accountability or 360-degree feedback for managers. Luckily, most are good, but there's no mechanism for calling out the ones destroying morale. Extremely poor oversight of the transition of IT Staff to Raleigh. Many people are being hired and given no support, direction or motivation and it's created a lot of dissent and frustration. Managers should have been moved/hired first like they did on the business side. Generous separation packages encouraged people who *could* find jobs to take the money and run rather than relocate or look for internal reassignment.

      Really Terrible

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very few. There may be departments that are pleasant. I have not encountered those in my years at Met. The nice members of the organization are the older lifers who do not realize how bad it has become since they started in the 70's.

      Cons

      Political. Petty. Disengaged management.
