Pros

The overall company is very supportive to driven, ambitious individuals, compensates well, and has a pretty good culture.

Cons

Each office is owned by Equity Principals (sort of like franchisees, but you have to be a vetted senior employee to be eligible to buy in), which provides a motivation to run the business well and have long-term objectives in mind. Unfortunately, it also means that these people have no oversight if a toxic worker ends up in this position. I really enjoyed my time working here for the first seven years, but then my equity principal (EP) retired and left a perfectionist workaholic in her place. The new EP is incapable of working with folks who do not share their work-life values and has driven off a lot of hard-working, talented individuals (which leaves more work for the rest of us that we are not being compnsated for). The rest of management is aware of the issue but hasn't been able to do anything about it due to how the corporate structure is set up.

Pros

Milliman is generally regarded as a good company, providing quality work, competitive pay, and strong benefits. The majority of employees are truly amazing professionals. However, the company is divided into independent practices supported by a central office. While the central office leadership is highly respected, the individual practices can vary significantly in terms of workplace culture.

Cons

Milliman is structured into independent practices supported by a central office. While the central office is highly regarded, the quality of individual practices can vary significantly in terms of culture. Some practices foster a positive environment, while others may have underlying issues that contribute to a poor workplace culture. It's crucial to thoroughly research a practice before considering joining. When evaluating a practice, inquire about its growth trajectory. Stagnant or slow-growing practices may be indicators of potential issues, so it's advisable to exercise caution. Conversely, practices experiencing steady growth could signify a healthier work environment. Additionally, inquire about turnover rates over the past several years, as high turnover can be a red flag for cultural problems. By gathering insights into a practice's growth, employee retention, and overall health, you can make an informed decision about whether the culture aligns with your values and professional aspirations. Thorough due diligence can help you avoid potentially toxic environments and identify practices that cultivate a positive, supportive culture conducive to your success and well-being.
