Pros

Job security - Pretty much, as long as you show up, you'll still have your job.

Cons

When I started working there, we were able to walk across the street and eat at Metlife cafeteria which served mediocre food. After a couple years, we were no longer allowed to eat at Metlife which presented an issue because a significant amount of the approximately 1000 employees in the Tampa office went there for coffee, breakfast, and lunch. There is not sufficient eating space to provide seating and tables for a quarter of the office. They are using an outdated technology stack. When I joined in 2016, they were just transitioning to Git for version control which had already been a standard for years. They were also beginning to utilize the Agile methodology for their projects. They provide continual training for this new approach to project management, but there is often pushback and a preference for the waterfall way. Installation of software is to be performed by a separate team and a formal request has to be made. Oftentimes it takes days for this to be completed. They instituted an investment policy where you have to disclose your investment accounts. You have to provide your stock portfolio and you must use an approved broker (not Robinhood). You must hold a stock for at least 30 days before selling it. You have to provide monthly statements and pre-clear every stock you want to buy (approval is good for 3 days, then re-clearance must be established by calling compliance center). This policy is for all employees; regardless of access to sensitive data.

Pros

Pay & Benefits are at market. Some tech is interesting.

Cons

Poor software development practices. Wizard of Oz deployments and audit exercises are common. Leadership void with no accountability. Teams and individuals are pitted against each other. Failures are proclaimed successful. There are no real standards, metrics or data by which decisions are made - it’s 100% political. Most people seem to be working for a paycheck and not much else. Some teams work crazy hours due to poor planning, foresight and a lack of leadership.
