Pros
There are few reasons to work at AIG if you do quantitative work. The best reason I can think of to work there is the paid time-off (starts at 24 days) and some other rare benefits like Paternity leave. Compensation of fair for non-IB banking hours.
Cons
Raises and promotions are not based on actual quality and quantity of work done throughout the year. Positions are filled by friends and relatives (literally!). Cronyism is rampant, and I have seen many bosses at all levels hold back excellent employees because of their own insecurities. Mismanaged employees and wasted effort everywhere. Constant fear of layoffs, with no real way to identify underperformers (other than very subjective manager reviews). Avoid at all costs.
