Pros

Good pay Good benefits Nice building Beautiful Gym Free food WFH flexibility (my team was hybrid) No one micro managed me (but - no one helped me either)

Cons

My experience was that long term employees (10 years plus) talked to you like you weren't intelligent and you were not welcome. I was constantly fighting for people's time. (I was there for under 4 months and left.) It was impossible to just get basic information to do my job. Poor training/onboarding process. Every meeting felt like a defensive argument, instead of collaborating to find the best solution. This may have been specific to my job role, I know some people who enjoy working at MassMutual. However, this is my honest opinion: I think MassMutual just does so many random layoffs, (and department reorganizations), that the older/original employees have to constantly "prove something" (AKA be defensive and gatekeep information) in order to stay employed when layoffs come. It's the only reason I can think of for this kind of culture, I have never dealt with such a thing before. Currently I have a job I really enjoy now, I am still an analyst, also in a billion-dollar company, but the culture is more inviting and less defensive. Overall MassMutual is not a horrible company, but was not the right fit for me. Felt very "me, myself, and I" not very team player driven.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

Some of the benefits are great.

Cons

There appears to be a significant issue with favoritism and conflicts of interest within certain areas of the organization. In some cases, close personal relationships between managers and employees seem to influence opportunities, recognition, and how people are treated. This creates a perception that being part of an inner circle is valued more than performance, accountability, and doing quality work. Employees who are not part of these groups can feel excluded, overlooked, or treated differently. There are also concerns about inconsistent standards, where certain individuals appear to have more flexibility or latitude than others.
