Pros

Extremely flexible and accommodating, very loyal to staff, generous with resources/training opportunities, and overall, a great company to work for

Cons

My salary is not as high as other companies in the Bay Area. But what MassMutual Northern California lacks in compensation, it more than makes up for with how it treats its employees. As a working mother, I could not ask for more flexibility. I'm allowed to make my own schedule, work from home, and given a lot of freedom to work without having to sacrifice time with my children

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
