Pros

The office is very comfortable and recently updated. They provide complimentary high-end coffee and snacks on every floor. Have an on-site cafeteria and nice place to walk around. There is a pension in addition to the 401k. Pay is ok. Being a global company, there is a wonderful amount of diversity and culture.

Cons

"Remote" to Metlife means one mandatory in office day per month. There is no consistency in leaderships direction. Job expectations and responsibilities change at a whim. Quality expectations are all over the place. People who are honest and work hard get burnt out and slackers are coddled. It's all about who you know and the face you present, not your work performance. To be fair this based on experience only in the LTC dept, I cannot speak for anywhere else
