Business Outlook
Pros
Great learning opportunities through working on an actuarial model where the goal was to make it best in-class. Good opportunities to travel to the Des Moines office (nice building) and attend sessions held by experts. Good compensation.
Cons
Unreasonably high expectations, weekend work, no work-life balance in the actuarial team. Yes, there was a major deliverable but the push to get everything in at the last moment costs employees their mental health. Politics, if manager doesn’t like you he can prevent you from growing. Favouritism, only certain employees positioned for success. Too much emphasis on contracting. High attrition, poor knowledge transfer. No internal rotation opportunities.
