      It senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Pay scales and benefits are decent compared to other IT organizations in large insurance companies Less stressful, projects are funded and performed a decent pace, you are not expected to work on the weekends or late nights Work culture is great as long as you an network and get into so called inner circles Senior management values talented employees Flexible hours are available as long as your management agrees

      Cons

      No Job Growth at all. Look at MetLife's layoff cycle in 2013 and 2014, and in another 10 Years this will happen to the new hires as well. Pay scales can improve on the IT organization.

      Fresh new building doesn't change stale culture.

      Pros

      It's a reliable place to work and they don't play games with your money. They're trying to change the culture, and the success of that hinges on the direct leadership you end up working for.

      Cons

      The IT teams lives and dies by the budget the business has to spend: if you don't have a budgeted project to pay for your time, you and your manager have to find busy work and cook the books to make it look like you're fully funded. It's probably better after the Brighthouse split, since that put a lot of budgets on hold. In the new NC hub, they put XBox rooms on every floor, but managers frown upon using them. This probably sounds petty, but to have a highly visible, fun room with a game console right by the elevators ends up highlighting that nobody's comfortable playing games there.
