Business outlook

Pros

Excellent pay. Good benefits, retirement and 401k match. Great company for work/life balance - flexible hours, work remotely - many departments wiling/able to accommodate individual needs. Good working environment. Overhauling most of the office buildings to create a more inviting, energetic and dynamic workplace and attract new talent. Striving to change from stereotypical "stodgy old" insurance company to a more modern financial services company.

Cons

There has been tremendous upheaval in the past year due to changes in business strategy and separation of the retail business. As a result, morale is low. Career advancement can sometimes be difficult because much of it comes down to departmental politics. Since going public in 2000, MetLife's atmosphere has slowly evolved from altruistic and family-focused to more impersonal, bottom line/shareholder-focused (as an enterprise overall - not within departments.)
