Mediocre Company with Poor Leadership

Pros

In my department we are allowed to work from home. The company provides a bus pass. End of pros.

Cons

Working for Corporate is terrible. Communication from the top down is poor. Pay is poor in comparison to similar roles at other companies. Salary bands are not implemented equitably. Those leading employee resource groups should be compensated for their contributions. Managers do not leave, so the leadership does not change, and therefore there are no new ideas. The same ideas are recycled every 2-3 years. It's stale. Upward mobility is very limited. Existing leaders/managers take no accountability for poor department performance. A manager that was not well liked or well prepared for the role lost several team members because of terrible communication and management, and unreasonable expectations. But senior managers turn a blind eye because they do not want to deal with conflict of any kind. No one gets called out. There are no repercussions to poor performance. If you are considering a role in Corporate, run away.

Decent but Change is Needed

Pros

There's a lot of work in many different areas.

Cons

Most of all, the COVID-19 remote work situation really gives management an opportunity to find out who the real producers are and who the leeches are. And there are a lot of them. The ones who enjoy meetings, talk and talk, but don't do the work. They enjoy coffee breaks and bureaucracy but not actual labor. These people will be easy to spot in this remote era, they are used to talking and socializing but now they are required to actually reach out, initiate things, and make it happen. This is more assertive than just socializing and talking and then claiming they are building relationships. Management, please look for this. Also, the organization needs a wake-up-moment on what jobs are worth these days. Paid Time Off is not as "generous" as what they think internally. Benefits are on the stingy side of things when comparing to other companies in the same category and location.

IntelliScript is a fun and unique practice of Milliman

Pros

Our practice creates powerful analytics SaaS tools that are used for underwriting. It feels like working for a successful start-up, underneath the protective umbrella of a bigger company (hello, corporation-sized benefits!). There's tons of opportunity to share ideas -- for new products, better ways of doing things, fun ways to bond as co-workers -- and if it's your idea, you get to make it happen. Leadership is transparent with everyone about what's happening in the business, positive or "challenging." Even the most senior people will be the first to raise their hand in a discussion and ask a question. It's evident that everyone here loves to learn. If you develop a new skill and can handle more responsibility, chances are, there will be a way to redesign your role to match all the capabilities you bring to the party.

Cons

Lots of growth in the past 3+ years makes it harder for everyone to feel connected all the time. We love adopting technology, which sometimes means reeling everybody back in to standardize a process -- change is hard when you're focused on progress all day.
