Pros

MetLife offers a solid overall compensation package. While my base salary could be higher elsewhere, the company-funded pension and generous 401(k) match help make up for it—it's rare to find a company still investing in retirement the way MetLife does. The culture here is supportive—genuinely one of the best aspects of the job. Across departments and time zones, I’ve yet to meet someone unwilling to help if I reach out. That kind of collaborative spirit is invaluable, especially as a virtual employee. I've had the opportunity to work with both great leaders and strong, high-performing Agile Release Trains (ARTs). When leadership is aligned and Agile is implemented thoughtfully, teams thrive. I’ve seen it work really well here.

Cons

That said, experiences vary depending on your ART and leadership. Following a re-org, I went from feeling seen and appreciated to almost invisible. Leadership changes can have a huge impact, and I'd caution others to keep an eye on how their teams are aligned during shifts. Agile practices can be wildly inconsistent from ART to ART. Some are high-functioning, while others fall into anti-patterns with too many redundant or unproductive meetings. I’d love to see MetLife embrace more of the pragmatic, outcome-focused culture seen in modern tech firms—especially around meetings and team autonomy.

Pros

Good people, good pay. Company is socially conscious and customer focused.

Cons

Company has changed. Greater reliance on offshoring, termination rather than relocation, and forcing smaller teams to overextend themselves.
