Pros

Genuinely interesting projects, extensive professional resources, bright and capable coworkers, wide variety of projects.

Cons

This branch of Milliman truly is a victim of their own success. The managing partners bring in tons of business, but the financial incentive for them to do so overloads everybody and causes deterioration of the work environment. Actuarial analysts struggle to study for exams; the workday usually stretches far into the evenings (and weekends); consultants' rash client promises unfairly overload project staff; the billable hour-based pay structure forces a choice between any semblance of work-life balance and reasonable pay; managers haphazardly and unfairly blame analysts for issues on their projects (often the result of vague guidance, poorly-defined expectations, or lack of knowledge about their own projects). Worst of all is that the managing partners realize the existence of these issues and just don't care. Their greed and desire to expand their business clearly outweighs their concern for the work environment. It's a shame too because the coworkers and projects are otherwise a sweet deal. The turnover here speaks for itself.

Pros

- These is a nice holiday party

Cons

- No room for growth unless you want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars prepping for/passing exams that will only increase your annual salary by less than $1000 - People quit every other week and they do NOT hire anyone new, so you will be doing what is the equivalent of 3-4 people’s job - If you are fresh out of college looking for a job, you will be the youngest person there by about 35 years - Poor PTO accumulation and if you get sick too bad ! - Awful work environment, office is a ghost town since there are roughly 3 people there - Culture is terrible , expect to be surrounded by middle aged people acting like they’re still in high school - Even though you are doing enough work for 4 people, expect your managers and team leads to IM you every 10 seconds to ask if something is done :-)

Pros

* Good pay * Nice downtown location

Cons

* Company suffers from senior management which cannot commit to any efforts beyond roughly 4 months. In seeking to effect change, I was told it was unlikely I would get sustained leadership support beyond that time frame because they will shift priorities and forget existing commitments * As a result, culture is one of chaos * Leadership openly calls the culture one of "fallow IP" while being the root cause of the failure to develop IP * No work life balance at all * Hostile work environment * Engineers are seen as a means to an end, and not solution providers * Can't trust anything you are told by partner teams * Some people have been in their position so long and are so embedded in corporate culture this company will never change while those people hold those positions * Openly jokes about not meeting industry/partner commitments * Leadership openly jokes about how it does not care about corporate culture
