Pros

The best thing about being at MassMutual is you have the freedom to be your own boss. You are expected to produce and not waste peoples time but there isn't going to be anyone on you everyday, you essentially work for yourself

Cons

One of the difficult things about starting out at MassMutual or any financial services company is building a client base. Working for commission can either be great or really rough if your new to an area and have trouble getting clients.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
