Pros

There are some good, smart people who work hard, try to do the right thing and do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture is dysfunctional. Upper management is about their own egos rather than what makes sense for the business. MassMutual's approach to the retirement industry is "my way or the highway." MassMutual's biggest obstacle to success in the industry is their own dysfunction.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
