Pros

People are generally friendly. The company has some good products that genuinely benefit customers and they intend to do the right thing for customers.

Cons

Current org structure has too many managers, not enough actual doers. People are more concerned about personal status and empires than actually doing a good job. Very siloed. Managers may have subject matter expertise but generally aren't very strong leaders and don't do much to develop people. Hard work is rewarded with more hard work. Political maneuvering is rewarded with promotions.

Pros

Pays the rent. Benefits cover medical bills incurred by overwelming stress created in the work place.

Cons

Genworth management cares nothing about their employees. All they care about is the bottom line. They put extreme pressure (professionally and personally) on their employees and are only show appreciation to favorites. Life/Work balance is non-existent. With all recent layoffs management feels remaining employees should be happy to have a job and put up with anything they throw at them. I would recommend Genworth as an employer of last resort.
