Pros

In any high end company, the distinguishing feature between companies is the people. The people here some of the best that I have known.

Cons

PL is a great place to work, but I do have one con that stands out to me, and this could be just my perception. As an individually contributing employee, I feel as though important promises from management tend to get deferred or just remain unfulfilled for long periods of time. Some people may perceive elements of political favoritism while others may see managers as fighting against 'red tape' and bureaucracy. End of the day, it's still a great place to work, but ambition and hard work does not seem to advance you any faster than the guy simply 'doing the job.'

Pros

What I'm most grateful for is my team and the culture. Pacific Life is full of supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging, and just genuinely great people. I feel challenged, appreciated, and lucky to be a part of this culture.

Cons

In-person requirement of four days a week is not consistent. There is lots of flexibility with that, though.

Pros

Great benefits and great team members!

Cons

The Return to Office policy is driving away one of our talented team members. Blindsided by reorgs. No polls done to determine what is best for our team.
