Pros

Benefits are good: for example they offer good life insurance. Many vacation days: about 24 days for new full time employees. Pay is relatively good: one of the reasons I went there in the first place.

Cons

High turnover: for a while I witnessed 1 data scientist resigning per week. There were just about 50 of them at the time. It was like a bus making stops so people can jump on and off. Very volatile: about 2 re-org every year. So you are out of luck if nobody in senior management counts you in his/her circle. There's little growth room for people who do the actual work because you don't have opportunities to present to senior management. That attention-grabbing job belongs to people whose job is to talk. Chaos: you might be a senior manager or even director as a data scientist, but don't be surprised if a manager who do the talking to senior management and is trusted by a VP tells you what to do (most of which can be done by a high school student). I would've never accepted an offer from AIG had I known what it's like to work in the AIG Science team.

Pros

The work at AIG is both challenging and Interesting. They have a strong client base, market position and name recognition.

Cons

AIG is paying the price (with high GOE and low morale) because they did not prepare well in the 1990's and 2000's with ideas and technology that would allow them to function more competitively today.

Pros

The people, hands down, are the greatest asset of AIG. Also, the ability to work independently with little supervision was one of the best reasons (historically) to work there.

Cons

Too many RIFs and uncertainty about the future. Strategy and direction unclear. Morale at an all-time low. Worst in ten plus years.
