MetLife reviews

There has been tremendous upheaval in the past year due to changes in business strategy and separation of the retail business. As a result, morale is low. Career advancement can sometimes be difficult because much of it comes down to departmental politics. Since going public in 2000, MetLife's atmosphere has slowly evolved from altruistic and family-focused to more impersonal, bottom line/shareholder-focused (as an enterprise overall - not within departments.)

Focus is not on its people. Company use to be a culture about its people. You would always hear from the CEO, with the current CEO you rarely hear from him and he is not people oriented. Company has let go too many people with knowledge of the business and rely on outsiders who know nothing about Insurance. With cutbacks, people are asked to do more with less and it's getting very old. Bonuses being cut and salaries are not great. Always changing direction within the company.
