Pros

Laid back atmosphere, relaxed, good benefits, new hampshire is a great state, great place if you want to just show up, browse Facebook, do a little work, and then leave after 8 hours

Cons

Nobody does any work, challenges are a joke, and the deadlines don't matter. There are a few technical people that deserve respect, but the vast majority do not deserve their "sr. software developer" titles. Most of them don't even develop any software! Also, people who have been there 30+ years and have no idea how the industry has changed in the meantime and still think COBOL is great. And don't even get me started on the H1Bs, absolutely useless. Overall, I learned some useful things but I think in the longterm it was just a huge waste of my time, especially since I had so many other opportunities lined up. BUT I had to fall for the benefits and salary and the signing bonuses, which in retrospect weren't really that good anyway, because as I found out, New Hampshire is not that much less expensive than the closest metro area, Boston, yet they still pay way under market from what you can get down there. PS. make sure any bonus you get is as a no strings attached bonus, otherwise if it's a "relocation" bonus, they'll make you pay it back in full if you leave before the year as one of my fellow IT Analysts learnt the hard way (this is the only reason I even stuck around as long as I did). And trust me, if you have any skill at all you will be wanting to leave asap once you get a full sense of the mediocrity that surrounds you.

Pros

Liberty Mutual genuinely lives its people-first values. I have real work-life balance and feel trusted and supported by both leadership and my peers. The culture is inclusive - I can bring my full, authentic self to work every day, and the Employee Resource Groups create true community and belonging. The growth opportunities are endless: between internal mobility, Short-Term Assignments (STAs), mentorship programs, and cross-functional projects, I've been able to build new skills and visibility across the enterprise well beyond my core role. The company invests in your development and genuinely wants to see you succeed.

Cons

With so many opportunities, committees, and ERGs to get involved in, it's easy to take on too much. Being intentional about where you focus your time is key to protecting that great work-life balance. It's a large enterprise, so it can take time to learn how to navigate all the resources and pathways available. More centralized visibility into open STAs and mobility opportunities would make them even easier to pursue.
