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.

Pros

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Cons

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
