Pros

Opportunity to work on high level projects when in an "analyst" role. Ability to report out to senior management. Respectable benefits and ability to take time off. Genworth has consolidated recently and put smart people in middle to mid-upper management. However, senior/upper management still has yet to prove themselves post-GE and cherrypicks their favorites despite performance or ability.

Cons

The 2009 layoffs was done poorly in process and selection. Minimal communication between business units and between business units and corporate. Very little training. Somewhat difficult to move up through company unless outspoken about abilities (left-over from GE). Expect long hours despite department, but especially in Finance. Work-life balance is not very good.
