Pros

Massmutual is an awesome money printing machine as it is in the whole life insurance business. Awesome place to learn how you have to keep document system/policy engines running for 100+ years. They have some of the latest in SaaS services.

Cons

Being a money printing machine, nobody care about running systems efficiently. Everything is a one off pilot that moved to production without appropriate full-time staffing to keep it running. Change takes a very long time, it's an insurance company after all. If you are used to moving quickly, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

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
