Pros

The food is pretty good.

Cons

Well, where do I start. If you are looking to move up the ladder you better either be related to someone within the company, be friends with someone with in the company or your not getting anywhere. I have seen too many times NEW HIRES they only have a few months worth of actual "GENWORTH EXPERIENCE" and get promoted over other longer term employees. It was my impression that the Genworth manual states you must be in a position at least 18 months before you can be promoted. However recent and past events have proven that Genworth's Integrity creed turned out to be a bunch of crap! This is not in any one unit it's across the board from numerous different employee's I have spoken with. They are tired of being overlooked for promotions and raises. Another thing is they have WAY too many meaningless meetings that provide NO insight and are mostly a waste of time. The Management expects work to be completed, however when raise time comes along this company generally gives the LOWEST possible raise.

Pros

You are the only one limiting what you can achieve. Often positions are created built around a person's talent. If you can put together a strong case of a particular need not being met within the organization, they give you a shot.

Cons

Office politics; the best candidate doesn't always get the job; favoritism among teams plays in. Executive management can/does override collective whole of a group when determining candidates to hire.
