      Generally positive but ended in frustration

      Pros

      If you are going to work for an MI company, this should be the one. I truly believe that they command more respect than their peers do.

      Cons

      Comodity product business with a highly skilled and tenured labor force that has recently made additional cuts in staff has resulted in poor moral. If you are a creative individual you will be frustrated by the lack of speed, and heavy resistance to change (it was rare to hear the words how do we make it work).

      Pros

      Lots of challenging assignments especially if you speak up and put yourself out there. Smart, energetic people who are very passionate about their company. Never a dull moment. In certain very few places, there are very strong leaders.

      Cons

      The company is very poorly run with frantic fire drills and erratic decision making. Most of the people at Genworth are miserable, and they've lost faith in senior leadership and the company. People on the outside don't want to join Genworth, so the company has to give them more money than the existing staff, creating inequity for long-time employees. They get rid of quality talent for no apparent reason. Everyone is simply exhausted.

      Good, smart people to work with Great benefits

      Cons

      Irrational Management - one quarter a particular item may be a goal to be considered an MVP and the next quarter you are told the same goal is no longer important and you get dinged VERY tough industry to be in right now...
