As a public company, still learning to 'walk the walk' - Business Systems Analyst MetLife Employee Review

Pros

Flexible with alternate work arrangements such as telecommuting. Willing to invest in needed training where applicable to job responsibilities.

Cons

Middle management overly political in the way decisions are based in terms of job promotions. Need to better 'walk the walk' in terms of pay for performance. True risk takers and those going the extra mile in speaking out when something is not working as it should are more often shunned than rewarded while others who coast through their jobs aren't pushed enough to contribute. In sum, the people who are not the 'check your brains at the door' contributors who readily accept the more complex, difficult work, often end up getting piled on while others float in the background.
