Pros

Big Company and stress free place to work.

Cons

Metlife promises that it will sponsor greencard for employees who are on work visa after 12 months working experience. But they will keep on delaying the process by telling all stupid reasons.. We need to beg managers/directors to fulfill the promise they made while hiring. It will take months to years for management to show mercy on us and initiate greencard process. It might be a good company for US citizens or Permanent residents, but if you are an employee on work visa then this is a nightmare company..Get ready for mental torture before you accept the offer..

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
