Pros

I was doing product origination for variable unit life and structured credit. AIG's size enabled me to have top of the line investment banks as my fund providers and account managers who call me back right away - Goldman, Citi, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan etal. It's a good brand even post bailout which really helps on the retail end.

Cons

AIG in Asia in 2011 onwards was chaotic. This was after the Asia unit was spun off to AIA. The top heads specifically the country managers in Asia got the boot. I met up with former colleagues in 2016 and the attrition of upper management was still pretty high. Nevertheless, the old guard who survived the cuts made innovation very difficult. Paying premiums through your credit cards ??? The company doesn't even have a merchant account. It was also pretty clear that the investment banks were pretty much telling us what to sell instead of AIA coming up with its own product ideas ie country indices, sector indices. Our own research department was pretty much useless. I swear they can only do government bonds.
