The company is huge so there is a lot of red tape and politics, but it's a solid company and has great benefits. - Senior Financial Analyst MetLife Employee Review

Pros

There are opportunities to work on a number of different projects and gain vast experience. The learning and developement here is also impressive. Classes are offered on campus and online that allow you to learn more about your job and how to perform at a higher level. The benefits are fantastic, great health coverage and a decent 401(k).

Cons

The beuracracy can get in the way of doing things effeciently. Business and IT occassionally have conflicting priorities that causes a lot of tension. There is currently a program called "operational excellence" which, in short, is the act of removing a member of a team and giving their responsibilities to whoever is still left (no change in pay for those individuals). This causes decreased moral and overall less satisfying work life.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
