Pros

Decent to good products, if you know people can be successful, good commissions. Okay marketing strategy and nice office.

Cons

Management is over promising and sells the career. They think the training and mentor ship they provide works, but it’s not enough and it doesn’t. They will probably tell you that the people that don’t make it is their own fault, but in reality it’s both management and the persons fault. Sometimes the firm can be very arrogant and I questioned whose interest they really had in mind at times. They tout the products, but it is so much more than that. Always promoting mass mutual, and they put the Advisor in a bad position versus independent advisors. I did not tend to see many high net worth clients at Mass.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
