Pros

MS Word & PPT are the heart of MetLife GARC Decent work life balance

Cons

1. Parental insurance is absent(Very basic benefit that should be provided) 2. Leadership is completely incapable. Actions only in words especially with Senior Managers. 3. Its not at all a Product based company, all the dump work from other countries comes to GARC 4. No proper evaluation mechanism for performance - Hikes are pathetic based on the 5 Goals(One of the weird & worst in industry) - Hike numbers are pure political play oriented 5. They have their set of guidelines which they treat them as universal standards 6. Very very few %(hardly 5%) of people works on Deep learning, NLP. Not a suggestion to join, if you are really looking forward to improve in your career 7. Dedication towards employees in the amidst covid situation proves the same 8. No proper office work space

Pros

Excellent benefits, including a pension, 401(k) match, generous PTO, and solid health insurance. Remote work and work-life balance have been very good. Smart, supportive coworkers who genuinely want to help each other succeed. Large-scale technology environment provides exposure to complex systems. Company is investing in AI and modernizing parts of the technology organization.

Cons

Career development can feel inconsistent depending on your department and leadership. Two people in similar roles may receive very different levels of visibility and growth opportunities. Frequent reorganizations and leadership changes create uncertainty and shifting priorities. Agile execution often doesn't match Agile principles. Work is frequently pushed between sprints, priorities change mid-cycle, and teams are expected to adapt without corresponding planning improvements. Cross-functional communication can be siloed, making it difficult to build business knowledge outside your immediate responsibilities. Recognition sometimes appears to favor those with existing relationships or visibility rather than consistently rewarding performance. Compensation is competitive initially but can plateau over time if you remain in the same role.
