The techniques used by the company are incredibly old-fashioned and you may not learn many transferable skills. For instance, much of their analytical work is done in a program called STAR which is written if Fortran, an obsolete programming language from an era before object-oriented languages like C++, Python, etc. The latest patch for STAR was in 2004 or something, like 20 years ago. Although they brag about having the largest database of multi-employer pension data in the US, most of it is locked up in unusable formats, so it isn't even aggregated in a way that allows for any sort of novel analysis. When I was there, management talked all the time about introducing stochastic modeling, but who wants to spend their career trying to figure out how to do that in a dead programming language? So it didn't get done. They got rid of the pension for employees. It used to be really good, and a lot of money that the company earns will go continue to fund the senior manager's retirement, and not yours. They will even train you to calculate what a raw deal you're getting if you work in pensions, haha! When I worked there, there was high turnover among analysts, especially among women, who complained to me about untoward remarks made to them by managers.
