Pros

Benefits are great. Allocated vacation time is wonderful. Employee services, ie bank, pharmacy, salon, gym, are located inside the building. well known name; everyone knows someone working at massmutual.

Cons

The annual review process is stress inducing and nonsensical. The guidelines are ambiguous. The gathering of solicited feedback on employees creates a popularity contest environment. Location is awful: crime-ridden neighborhood and broken streets. Thankfully, the company installed serious security measures to protect the employee and company property. HR mediates with bias- the outcomes are rarely in the employees favor. many senior managers are micro managers who lead by fear and intimidation.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
