MetLife is good for technical, rigidly defined skills people - actuaries, accountants, Legal. Not if they can't box you. - Anonymous employee MetLife Employee Review

Pros

Great benefits. Great efforts at diversity. Some great people that one has to seek out.

Cons

If they cannot put you in a box, very difficult to make a contribution. Does not promote exceptional performers - even small groups are very distanced from each other - no entrepreneurial encouragement.

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
