      The company is huge so there is a lot of red tape and politics, but it's a solid company and has great benefits.

      Pros

      There are opportunities to work on a number of different projects and gain vast experience. The learning and developement here is also impressive. Classes are offered on campus and online that allow you to learn more about your job and how to perform at a higher level. The benefits are fantastic, great health coverage and a decent 401(k).

      Cons

      The beuracracy can get in the way of doing things effeciently. Business and IT occassionally have conflicting priorities that causes a lot of tension. There is currently a program called "operational excellence" which, in short, is the act of removing a member of a team and giving their responsibilities to whoever is still left (no change in pay for those individuals). This causes decreased moral and overall less satisfying work life.

      Pros

      Flex Time is nice...you have the ability to WFH when you need to. But it doesn't mean you still won't put in a 10 hour day.

      Cons

      No consideration for time with family...you're working 24/7.

      Slow moving, non-challenging but still learning experience

      Pros

      I would consider the benefits package and the fact of being part fo a major insurance organization in the world as good reasons.

      Cons

      Very unstable market positioning, high turn-over, lack of culture and below average staff as downsides or opportunities to be taken into considerations. Salaries are awfull even worst than insurance player which are also under when comparing top tier companies. Not clear career opportunities and impssibility to identify and rotate talents.
