Pros

AIG, being one the largest companies in the world, does provide job security and I believe their salaries are very comparable or at least competitve to other insurance companies. The management style is not as micro managed as other companies I am aware of yet they are guilty of it, as many companies are.

Cons

AIG has a tendency to implement work policies without consulting those which the policies greatly effect. It would be encouraging if our input was sought after. We are the ones that must implement these policies and our morale may increase knowing we had a part in the changes. As such, employee morale does not appear to be a high priority and more company sponsored events or/and or awards would be appreciated. At this time, and it may change, advancement is not available nor a near future possibility.

Pros

By far the largest insurance company and therefore has certain benefits such as innovative products and some (not all) great management, diverse career opportunities, great learning ground for the insurance business, is not for the weak

Cons

Sometimes can be too large and you can get lost in the shuffle, can have bad reputation in market, small to nil bonuses

Pros

While at AIG for 2 years (6months as a consultant, 18 months as an employee), I earned a great salary, I worked in nice offices, I was given the flexibility to work out of multiple offices, I was given responsibility and the options to travel. I was also allowed to attend out of state training and other nice things. I was overall happy with how things worked at AIG. I wasn't too keen on my manager because he had a tendency to be annoying and clueless at times but that was minor. I worked with other knowledgeable professionals in the IT department.

Cons

My major problem was my commute. Although AIG is a global company with offices near my home, I was not able to utilize the facility so I had to trek 85miles each day by train or car to get to the office. After 2 years of this, I was burnt out and I took a paycut to work closer to home with another company. AIG said they'd allow me to work from this closer location but it never panned out. I lost the wind in my sails for AIG once I was denied the opportunity to simplify my commute. I felt their concern for me was low and I was worth more than what they were doing for me.
