MBIA Reviews

Pros

small, familial, diversity, independence, centrally located

Cons

no career progress, no graduate opportunities

Advice to Senior Management

no my boss was perfect

Pros

good work/life balance; good benefits

Cons

inadequacy of senior mgmt; only those willing to sacrifice their individualism in exchange for stroking management's ego will advance their career; unprofessional and immature behaviors are about at this place, it's like being back in high school; most of the people there lack outside experience/exposure and therefore don't even know what they don't know.

Pros

Compensation, location, smart people, and challenge are all good. There is an understanding that good staff are important to the success of the company.

Cons

Little to no support for one's personal life to the point where time off is looked down upon. A very top down approach which does not empower the bright people working there.

Advice to Senior Management

To make this a more attractive place to work, actively support work life initiatives - not grudgingly but whole heartedly. Trust your employees to work hard and do the right thing - manage out the few who don't.

Pros

It used to be a respected and solid company before the crash of the financial industry.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities in some areas of the company. Uneven division of task and responsibilities within the same position level.
Very bureaucratic and paralyzed place. Impossible to have anything done without endorsement from half the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Let people do their work and keep them responsible and accountable, less micro-management.
