      Pros

      You will be working with good people, not very competitive who are willing to share their views and ideas. There is a great deal of training you can do and many different markets to explore.. From life and health to catastrophe insurance to asset management and structured transactions.

      Cons

      Depends who you know to secure promotion, but overall the system is fair. Matrix organisation with several layers of authority which makes decision making sluggish..

      Pros

      Pay is good. Benefits are OK. Benefits like pension is eliminated and EPPis not attractive any more. 401K has been reduced for new joiners.

      Cons

      This company is not what it was once before. Few in upper middle management will do anything to save their job and create an unnecessiary layer. This restricts free communication and innovation. Meaning less projects that add no value and feels like things are done to just get attention and incentives. There is lot of good knowledge that is suppressed and not used. The thick middle management layer runs more on ego then knowledge and rationality.
