Pros

Great learning opportunities through working on an actuarial model where the goal was to make it best in-class. Good opportunities to travel to the Des Moines office (nice building) and attend sessions held by experts. Good compensation.

Cons

Unreasonably high expectations, weekend work, no work-life balance in the actuarial team. Yes, there was a major deliverable but the push to get everything in at the last moment costs employees their mental health. Politics, if manager doesn’t like you he can prevent you from growing. Favouritism, only certain employees positioned for success. Too much emphasis on contracting. High attrition, poor knowledge transfer. No internal rotation opportunities.

Pros

SFG has changed over the years but definitely for the better. I trust leadership and enjoy everyday working for this amazing company. There is of course office politics which you’ll have everywhere but if you keep doing what you’re supposed to be doing then you’ll have no issues. ESOP, early out on Fridays, culture, flexible schedules, system enhancements including productivity improvements and genuine conversations with people you work with are some of the top favorites on my list. Plenty of SFG employees have left over the years due to their own personal lives/needs but a lot of them end up coming back for plenty of reasons but in reality it’s because we are happy working here.

Cons

None that comes to mind.
