Pros

MassMutual seems to really care about the well-being of their talent, investing in an annual stipend for various well-being costs, offering mental health support, and a flexible schedule depending on your role

Cons

The company is so large that it takes a while for change to be made sometimes. Things can get lost in translation and sometimes there is no clear path when you are trying to get answers. Upper management is super secretive about some things and depending on your career path there is not a lot of room for movement upwards. They also seem to invest more in people that are early in career and not so much to people that are tenured or further along their career path which could be a pro or a con depending on which side you are on.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
