AIG showed me I deserve better.

Actuarial analyst

Pros

AIG is a great way to learn what it's like to work at your typical inefficient "corporate america" company. Also a great way to learn how to deal with working at a sinking ship. It taught me when it's time to leave a job, and that I deserve better. It IS a recognizable name on your resume, though its connotations and links to the recession of 2008 are lukewarm at best.

Cons

Retention rate for entry level employees is apparently less than 10% after 2 years. AIG is a textbook example of the "dead sea effect", where anyone with ambition or talent is driven out of the company to look for better opportunities, and the people that are left are those who other companies won't take due to a lack of technical skills, or interpersonal skills. (Let's just say most managers I've met are usually screaming or yelling at other employees.)

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits including paid paternity leave, generous PTO, 401k match. It was a great place to learn the P&C industry. The AIG alumni network is very broad, and Recruiters/competitors value AIG experience on the resume. AIG prioritizes building relationships with major clients, which is something many other carriers don’t do well. Still a household name in the industry.

Cons

AIG is a shadow of its former self. Previous CEO tried to flatten the organization, only to have Duperreault come in and hire dozens of outside executives which made AIG top-heavy again. Raises and promotions are generally non-existent while the new CEO collected a staggering paycheck for 2017 akin to a top professional athlete. Archaic IT infrastructure in most divisions, teams are lean to the point of high burnout and turnover. Little to no support staff in some underwriting units, leaving underwriters responsible for the entire end-to-end process. Very low morale, and bureaucratic speed bumps at every turn. Still has somewhat of an Old Boys’ Club mentality, which could be a pro or con depending on the person. Senior leadership is completely out of touch with the people who actually generate revenue.
