Dallas, TX

Current Employee – been working at AIG full-time for more than 3 years

ProsWork from home opportunity. Benefits are ok.

ConsManagement in the DBA unit operate as a high school clique that only benefits each other. There are no minority's or people of color in any Management, Sr Examiner or Leadership position in the Global Claims department. Career growth opportunity and bonus are given based on popularity, physical appearance and social club status. The same "pack" of managers came to AIG from a previous company. Work from home opportunity is unfairly used. They lookout for their own.

Advice to Senior ManagementGrow up and stop operating business as if it is a college party mixed with the "good old boys club".

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at AIG full-time

Prosawesome peers, NEVER a dull moment, entrepreneurial, open to all sorts of training if you go after it. Great environment for ambitious OCD types

Consrestructuring so not stable right now, top heavy management, too many chiefs, "You're never good enough" mentality with workers but it does drive you to do better, pay freeze for years at non management levels (but its probably like that everywhere), a lot of outsourcing to Asia moving forward so jobs at non management level not plenty. If you are are an experienced worker, don't volunteer to train that intern...you may be training your cheaper replacement

Advice to Senior ManagementIts OK to pay your management well to retain talent. Just remember your employees who actually service the customer, they are not just cost units, they are the cogs that make the machine run

New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at AIG full-time for more than 8 years

ProsIf you get into the right work unit with leadership that is CONNECTED at the top (either through relations or relationships) then you can have a career for 25 years.

ConsIf you get into the wrong work unit where your leadership is not CONNECTED you will probably have 15 bosses in a 5 year period. This is my experience. Very unorganized and chaotic. Archaic systems that don't speak to each other. You also will probably have bosses and bosses of bosses that know half of what you know but be put in these positions due to 'knowing someone'. Very hard to get ahead unless you know someone and you are willing to work 24/7 365 days.
