Pros

Used to be great benefits but slowly reduced one by one( this year also the health benefits were taken off) Lot of great people but getting less and less of them

Cons

- company has changed almost 360 degrees from quality of management , human values and social responsibility , Specially in IT - Since our CIO hired a school teacher as strategy manager whos only strategy was working on his own career the whole quality of IT went badly down. - There is no more company values and everything is done with executive power - If someone has a different opinion then he is seen as an enemy - Many good colleges who genuinely live company values , competent and really deliver value to the company started disappear day by day. - HR and Talent management invested really a lot in attracting and hiring good people but due to this bad management practices we are loosing great human resources - Difficult to satisfy clients when key people are disappearing who maintained great customer relationships for years for no reasons

Pros

Global company, good vacation time, good retirement benefit. Bonus can be ok but company is now capping that as well and raises are nearly nonexistent even for high rating on perf review

Cons

Bureaucratic, Anti-American, P&C company with disdain for the Life side of the business even though Life is a big portion of the total revenue
