Milliman reviews

There is no set career growth; it is what you identify and create for yourself. It is a very flat organization. Career growth is measured in skills opportunities not leveling up and job titles. There is a bias rewarding actuarial exams and other industry-based designations more than technical, human resources certifications. Milliman leadership provides the normal "thanks" but little more in showing appreciation for what you do. Going above and beyond is the norm so recognition for it is rare. It is important to self-promote and generate your own appreciation of your contribution to the firm and your career growth. Know when you are doing a good job whether managers acknowledge it or not.

Some Partners were promoted for no good reason (because the one who built the practice retired). Others have not kept up with the times but are allowed to struggle for too long. This leads to huge variances in experience depending on who you work for and at what location. Some very good and smart people do not get credit they deserve and they eventually leave. Too much time by many partners working for themselves and not enough time managing their workers or building talent. Some of the oddest, most aggressive, aggravating people I've ever encountered work here and will never leave because of the above (no attention to day to day management / morale). Crazy people are allowed to operate unchecked for long periods of time. Offices are more or less independent by location and somewhat uncoordinated with each other which leads to disparity in compensation, business practices, client disputes, etc. Time off is poor but you don't do Consulting to get time off. Not much balance here folks. Expect to work alot.
