AIG reviews

Everyone works hard - but leadership mandates 20% of people get a bad rating so the culture is super competitive. Rather than teamwork, people just stab you in the back all the time. They take credit for your good work and call your manager on any minor mistakes. It is a corrupt, cancerous place. Managers don't know how to manage. Add on continued restructuring and lay-offs - and a fantastic CEO who is irreplaceable and about to retire - and it is not a healthy climate nor does it have a good future. The Property Casualty dept which is huge component of AIG's business is not doing well. Steer clear.

Depending on the department's management and reporting structure, working at AIG can be excellent or terrible. Employees are demoralized with extremely limited departmental promotion opportunities unless you move to a different department; rampant layoffs to make balance sheets look better; elimination of incentive compensation and cost of living raises; and no across the board raises for multiple years (while Executives and Senior Management consistently get fat bonuses and compensation increases and employees are paid below market). The focus now is on cutting costs by outsourcing essential functions and using outdated technology and systems. Employees are completely overloaded with work from other departments and unrelated to the essentials function of their job. Penny wise and pound foolish Senior Management mentality. The Relative Performance Ranking (RPR) process is grossly unfair and does little to take out poor performers and instead, creates friction and not collaboration amongst talented employees, while "bad" long term fat salaried employees are still protected. Do your time, gain some great experience and leave.
