Pros

The people make the company and the reason may people stay with the company. Benefits are not bad. Pay is fair.

Cons

Unfortunely is no longer a great place to work. Company is doing a lot of downsizing and offshoring jobs. People are their strongest asset, but upper management does not recongize their talent. Very political and favortism is rampant. Employees are now calling it the TransTanic, because the ship is sinking. Sr. Leadership is constantly traveling and have big travel expenditures, but expect everyone below them to cut back.

Pros

The coworkers are the best. There are still great people that work at Transamerica. The pay and flexible work schedule is good.

Cons

Since the announcement of the lay-offs, employee morale is very low. Departments don't work together. There are too many silos and too much political beaurocracy. Resources to make things better are scarce. Sr. Management doesn't care about their employees. Employees are afraid to speak up for fear of being let go.
