Pros

Working remotely to be away from the office politics

Cons

Like a lot of people I was laid off to be able to make the numbers look good in 4Q. Honestly firing people 2 weeks before Christmas is disgusting. Anyway it seems that it is not solving the problem quarter after quarter for the past 2 years. The new CEO is paying top dollars to acquire new companies like Validus but it is not working. Validus made a 1 billion loss in 3Q . Managers are clueless and they are just running in circle. They rely on offshore to get the job done but they have no idea what it takes to do the job! I wake up everyday thinking my last day at AIG was my best day !
