      Manulife reviews

      Cocky leaders. Political. Empty promise. Don’t waste your time. - Mid Management, Asia Regional Office Manulife Employee Review

      Mid management, asia regional office
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Blue chip name to the public but widely known as conservative and bureaucratic. The grass outside Manulife is greener indeed.

      Cons

      All those employer branding, empty propaganda of global mobility and growth development etc. Glass ceiling and racial discrimination in Asia regional office unless you are white. Promotion from within is extinct but incumbents will be pushed out.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits and nice communication across different teams. Access to perks of a large company (HR support, benefits, PTO). Very established firm in the marketplace.

      Cons

      Slightly below market salaries and little room to negotiate upward, unless you change job titles. Some managers and execs can be set in their ways or choose the de-risked option, even if there are better or more efficient ways of doing things.
