Pros
Good benefits, could be better. Subsidized cafe is great. Celebrations / gatherings are great for internal networking.
Cons
Firm went too bullish on stock growth during covid-29 era- wanted to see continued high growth of profit and profit margin, but that is unsustainable. Multiple significant layoffs and restructurings in one year.
Hard time retaining institutional knowledge.
Pay is not commensurate with high-stress environment (due to rapid changes and instability), COL, etc.
Poor opportunity / visibility for career development for non-actuarial roles embedded in actuarial departments. Leads to frustration among colleagues.
Morale is very far down. Neglect of institutional knowledge and junior staff will make problems down the line.
