Pros

Overall, my experience at AIG has been extremely positive. It's difficult for me to pinpoint one particular example that made my experience so favorable, so here are a few that stood out to me over the past few years: 1. The ability and opportunity to work on highly-visual, enterprise-level projects that directly affect the organization 2. The continual support of upper-management not just with supporting new project initiatives but the desire to innovate across the company 3. Personal skill-set development and career growth. My manager cares about my growth as an employee at the company. Giving my constructive feedback on a regular basis and providing me with tools and training to build my skill-set. 4. A true team and collaborative environment. I've had the ability to work across multiple global departments to really understand the business and learn from my colleagues.

Cons

I wouldn't describe this as a "con" per say, but rather an area of opportunity for AIG: it would be great to have an official employee recognition program to help acknowledge company-wide, the "all-star" employees we have at AIG.

Pros

Not much left in the company to list as pro. Im really struggling to come up with 20 words. I guess they are still global. Oh they have outstanding well respected leaders like John Doyle...oh wait..they just kicked him out and he now runs Marsh - the leading distribution partner. That should work out well for AIG...NOT

Cons

Layoffs, Salary Reductions, Do more with less, zero opportunity for advancement from within. Total instability, endless reorganization, total lack of confidence in management.

Pros

Open to trying new ways of doing business. Strongly promote analytics. Some very talented people work here, including most of my colleagues.

Cons

Politics is oppressive. CEO is new to insurance, and is promoting a large number of people to power who don't understand the absolute basics of the industry. Company culture is becoming like a consulting shop, where everything is always super urgent and half assed. Doesn't matter if there is substance as long as sounds and looks fancy. Over-reliance on the technical power of models, without understanding the underlying data, whether it makes sense relative to the business, or even if its answering the most pressing business needs. Undervaluing of people with deep business knowledge, to the point of barely consulting them in modeling process or setting objectives. People are seen as expense items and interchangeable parts that can either be outsourced or automated.
