Pros

Interesting and challenging work, opportunities to learn new things, great colleagues, nice work environment, convenient location. Benefits are nice (some could be more competitive), bonus determination process should be simplified, it's too complicated and geared towards giving everyone a "fair" share, regardless of the level of effort that was put it.

Cons

As in any big company, lots of office politics and power wrangling, especially in the higher echelons. The recent and less recent downsizings have left many employees rattled and disinclined to trust new announcements from AEGON's leadership.

Pros

Commitment to lifestyle is clear, as people are allowed to come and go as long as they get the job done. A professional setting, and wonderful park-like campus with onsite gyms, tennis courts, daycare and ponds. Pay is adequate to live a solid upper middle-class existence in Iowa. A very middle-America culture, which most experience positively.

Cons

Senior executives are geographically focused, and global initiatives break down quickly. Turf wars are common, and survival requires getting into the right group, under the appropriately powerful senior manager. Uncommon to move from business unit to business unit, pay increases are meager, but turnover is low as there are few places else to work in Iowa. Advancement is slow and professional growth stagnates after a few years.
