Pros

Large, global company with plenty of opportunities in growing businesses worldwide. Colleagues were intelligent, interesting and fun. Good work/life balance. Senior management have a focus on global talent management, building and recruiting diverse teams, product innovation, corporate responsibility and ensuring MetLife is one of the most attractive places to work. A great company!

Cons

As with any global company of this size, change can be slow to be implemented. Not many opportunities to move globally. Compensation not as high as some.

Pros

-Great people, who care about their work and the people they work with. -Benefits and flexibility of company in adapting to work life balance and any special family needs that come up is top tier - If you want a guaranteed job for life where you can coast through with average of above average performance, this is the place for you - Sr management accessible if you rise to a certain level - office location in NY cannot be beat, right across from bryant park in midtown with great views

Cons

-culture in US vs. international offices are incredibly different. Intl. offices are better in that they're more competitive, driving harder and moving faster - no explicit culture. little incentive for employees to socialize outside of work and little budget to do so even if there is - little explicit recognition for your work, so little incentive to outperform because only your direct manager will know but broader group may not - slow moving company - inward facing, doesn't look outside at competitors with respect to business or talent management.
