Pros

- Production driven no seniority. Meaning that you have the same opportunities in year 1-3 as you would in year 7-10. - Management team is young and really successful. - I've been with another top financial firm before, but I was BLOWN away by the training at MassMutual. - You get out what you put in.

Cons

- You get out what you put in. So put in a lot. - Difficult in the beginning because you are ramping yourself up, which is true at any other firm though. - You have to be super motivated to succeed. Anything less, then you get to be the review poster for the "Don't do this straight out college."

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
