Pros

wonderful opportunity to learn various aspects of the insurance and financial business. Mass Mutual has three locations in the CT and Springfield area.

Cons

The location is isolated since it is located in Springfield MA. There are really no other financial or insurance companies to compare with.

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
