Pros

*Employee will acquire practical actuary working knowledge in Towers Watson. *The internal actuary training is helpful. *People working around are nice and helpful. *Instead of regular 401K matching, company offers pension plan.

Cons

The merging didn't work very well for the new company. Many young and talent employee are leaving or laid off because of the overlapping departments or positions. It's hard to tell whose department is better than the other. Politics won the final decision of who would step up and who would step down. The benefit and pay is just fine. You pay more than $150 every month for medical and $3,000 dollars deductible every year. The bonus rate is ok and it's based on your level and overtime hours.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
