Pros

Challenging position, with good coworkers. Good benefits Good salary

Cons

I worked for Met, in the IT group, for 10 years. Every time I was positioned for a promotion, they did a reorg. The latest one left about 2000 people in the northeast unemployed.

Pros

Opportunity to work with some really great managers and co workers. Challenging projects to work on. Definitely learned a lot working here. Work life balance is possible with the right management team,

Cons

Very difficult to find new jobs within the company. The culture is very political. Many people are placed in positions without any experience because they were friends with the hiring manager.
