Pros

Short commute to work, nice campus, and free parking. Used to have great benefits until they switched all employee health insurance plans to one high deductible plan with a $2500/$5000 deductible.

Cons

MassMutual used to be a great place to work with great benefits. Unfortunately things changed over the past few years. Current CEO is a number guy and doesn't appreciate the value of IT. CIO is taking IT down the drain with more layoffs and outsourcing. IT employee morale is at an all time low.

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
