Pros

Nothing to mention. They pay you good during hiring so that you don't get other opportunities

Cons

Worst managers. They don't care for employees. I failed to find some worst sentence from Google. Because there are some positive hints but in empower Bangalore worst is not a word

Pros

I've been with Great-West Life which became Great-West Financial which is now Empower Retirement for over ten years. A lot has changed during this time with leadership, technology, culture, and speed to market. And change isn't always easy. But the direction of Empower and the leadership makes this an exciting place to be. I love that Empower is trying to disrupt the industry and set the standard for being the best retirement provider. If retirement planning is a passion, this is the best company to align with. Small enough to know people and make an impact, big enough to have scale and growth potential. More flexibility in the work. I wear jeans almost every day (unthinkable when I started). Most positions get laptops for work flexibility. The culture is supportive and friendly and it feels like leaders really do appreciate and care about their people.

Cons

Change is constant here. You have to be adaptable in order to thrive. And there are growing pains with the growth of the company. Technology is still catching up. And not many positions offer more than 1 day a week working from home. But things are improving and Empower is more progressive now than it used to be.
