Pros
The pay and benefits were within normal industry standards.
Kontras
-Lack of focused and measured training for new hires. No actual benchmarks or goals. -Fragmented focus on projects and training. -Well established group with sub-cliques…manager did not run the department. -Sold as a “start-up” within recruiting and onboarding stating MetLife desires your input and suggestions, the reality is they don’t want your feedback or suggestions. Just do the job yesterday and don’t question anything. -Siloes and no interdepartmental cooperation exists. Unprofessional language and behavior abounds between departments and personnel. -Obsolete and antiquated technologies…regressive and not a career builder for anyone. -Managers are process managers, not people managers. -If your group dislikes you for any reason, you will be pushed out. This is the same group that you don’t meet when interviewing for the job. Huge disadvantage for incoming hires. -Communication between managers and subordinates is opaque at best. You never receive any feedback on your proposals or training progress. -Company is only concerned with how it looks to its shareholders. This is at ALL costs! -Morale is a joke. Disregard what you’re told upon interviewing. -Massive loss of knowledge with their elimination of the previously existing workforce for the move to NC. No knowledge transfer.
