      Stable company but craploads of bureaucracy and dysfunctional management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are looking for a relatively stable place to be, perhaps MetLife might be a place to go. There are some decent places in this company, they actually have a good internship program (for those looking to gain some experience, in university or perhaps entry-level). Prior to COVID the company was anti flexible/remote work...however they have finally acknowledge the 21st century and adopted hybrid arrangement. Perhaps this is one silver lining The company does have some good values, and programs to help those in need and outreach to communities around the world - Michele and team have been instrumental in leading those types of initiatives

      Cons

      Tons of bureaucracy and bad management, especially at middle levels. During my last year there was lots of discussion at top (including from CEO) about reducing bureaucracy and becoming more transparent. Although the top-levels of the company had good intentions, their mission as such saw little/no success. There is tons of bureaucracy and "good old boy" type of environment at the various management/VP levels. Very little accountability and a lot of bad actors, micro-managing dysfunctional leaders (and individual contributors) who are allowed to misbehave with little/no recourse. For anybody looking for a good career with long-term future, this is not your place (especially if you are in tech). Tons of technical debt and dead-end/stale projects, that you will be likely dumped on and stuck with. Run for the hills...
