Pros

Competitive pay and benefits package. Excellent training toward self-improvement via the "MassMutual Way." Generally positive, friendly, and forward looking colleagues.

Cons

The quality (and empathy) of your manager is somewhat haphazard. There is a feel of "new flavor of the month" to some of the company initiatives, but this plagues most companies. Lack of rapid adoption of useful software, such as R and Python in the actuarial departments.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
