Pros

great benefits, long term and short term, up until 08/15/2001 when AIG bought AGLA

Cons

Out of control from the top down, starting with Hank Greenburg, getting all this sub prime mess started after 09/11, Greenburg can be found to have a hand in most problem with the econmy, starting with Enron, Arthur anderson, Tyco, and on and on, he should be in Jail, but Spitzer backed off for a large contribution to his Governor race. Yes Greenburg is gone but is he, Starr Foundation ownes 12.5% of AIG

Pros

It's a large company so you have a lot of exposure to different audiences, businesses and markets. Good place to learn lots, as long as you're comfortable with working at a 'boring insurance company'. Some good people and generally friendly environment.

Cons

Well, we got completely hammered the last few months so it will be a tough few months going forward. Overall, the crisis was not managed all that well with lots of employees afraid for their jobs and livelihoods. More generally, very strict and conservative corporate culture; the bureaucracy can be frustrating at times. The office politics can also be irritating when they arise. Maybe it's just because I work in marketing where people gossip, but there is too much backstabbing talk which poisons productivity with its negativity.
