AIG Reviews

Former Employee – worked at AIG full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great P&L managers, 5 stars had the non profit center management been at all of use.

Cons – Too many cost center managers of little skill have ear of senior management.

Far too many & unnecessary initiatives, these distract employees from production & profit matters.

Too little use of technical experienced staff in trtaining new staff.

Advice to Senior Management – Ineffective managers in cost center & sales distract from better talent in Profit Centers. Keep top performers by making PC managers the next level of management to Senior Management, thus demoting the others.

Former Employee – worked at AIG full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Ability to maneuver around the company. There are so many different avenues and directions in which you can take your career.

Cons – Increasingly high targets that must be met year after year. You sometimes feel as though you are in a meat grinder. No matter how well last month was, you're expected to grow it exponentially the following month. And this never stops.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire more motivating managers; managers who are focused on doing a great job rather than trying not to lose their jobs.

Current Employee – been working at AIG as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – nice co workers, decent managers, nice big cubes, low stress at work, free parking for employees, contractors need to pay 15-30 dollars per month for parking

Cons – I was hired as contractor, and they gave me some new project that can be done by 5 people. The manager doesn't even know what the project is, I just had to volunteer for that project. Well, I am fine with that but I am expecting a full time for giving such a role, but looks like they don't want to give and use me to full extent. I am thinking of moving to other job in that case. Pay is not that great. One of my manager is a gossiper. He gossips about his own team members!

Advice to Senior Management – Reward hard working people. Some of your employees are so worthless, contractors are fast and hard working but management doesn't see that. Look who really is working hard, appreciate them even if they are contractors. Some people are stuck in the company for 17-25 years because it is so low stressful job for them. They are making contractors doing all the work.

Former Employee – worked at AIG as an intern for more than a year

Pros – AIG is a laid back to 9 to 5 job that also offers a great benefits. There is a smart atmosphere because most people come from other large firms.

Cons – Some things AIG could improve on would be to promote more corporate events where you may network with others. AIG is also looking into cutting down cost so there is a centralize printing system which makes it difficult to print.
