Absolutely Awful

Pros

I honestly can't find anything positive to say about working at MetLife.

Cons

This has to be the worst place I have ever worked. MetLife has one of the most controlling atmospheres I have ever experienced in a workplace. No one is happy here and senior management has NO CLUE how unhappy everyone is, nor do they care. I've heard many others here use the phrase "worked to death". Management is so ego driven; they don't care about employees AT ALL. Employees are not trusted at all nor are they treated with respect.

Needs a lot of work

Pros

GTO campus is nice, decent work / life balance

Cons

Management does NOT listen to it's engineers. Quite a few LARGE infrastructure decisions have been made by some top level executive that had lunch with someone at a large vendor. This isn't speculation, it is FACT. What is interesting here, is that Met employees have to go through ETHICS training every year. I don't think these executives do. Management will NOT fire dead weight. If you want to come work in a place and do nothing, and not worry about your job, this is your place.

Going downhill fast

Pros

The company is not too bad as long as you get a manager who likes you.

Cons

I am a long term employee who relocated from New Jersey to North Carolina. The company has really gone downhill in the recent years regards to nurturing and developing employees. The current management is very political and decisions are all made by thinking about the bottom line and not the employees. They change the rules as they go along to promote pet staff and most of the new opportunities are not even posted to keep employees in the dark.
