Pros

401k, Healthcare offered, same as with most large companies.

Cons

As an employee for almost 10 years and working in several departments within Auto, Property, and Commercial lines.... I am here to tell you the Truth. Please don't fall for the fake reviews out there. Liberty Mutual is not the company it once was. Once they merged with Safeco, a few years later their entire philosophy and leadership focus changed. The "Pension" which was once defined benefit plan....yeah, that was trashed in favor of an awful Cash Balance plan that is not 1/2 as good as the former. Then, the VIP (bonus) and Merit increases were made to be nearly impossible. They accomplished this by utilizing a CSAT system that is designed to be much more difficult to attain your goals and get paid your bonus. As someone who sat in on meetings discussing these exact topics, I can confirm they do not care about the employees whatsoever. They use a "Performance Management" system to manage people out the door whom they don't like. LITERALLY. On top of this, top talent management left the company or retired in hoards as they were forced out and/or saw what changes were soon to come. Only Safeco managers got promotions while long-time upstanding Liberty Mutual employees were discriminated against, until they were either fired or encouraged to leave on their own accord. I personally witnessed crude humor and disgusting behavior from the Safeco managers who came over to Liberty Mutual. Ultimately I left because of this, and the fact that I advised upper management and nothing was done. Not surprised. I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Pros

A variety of flexible work arrangements are available, along with a good selection of employee assistance programs. There are many opportunities available for training and development.

Cons

Increasingly frequent and large-scale restructures and layoffs, plus unclear communications from senior management, leave morale incredibly low. The frequent changes to organizational structure significantly impact productivity. Generally no sense of belonging.

Pros

The company has OK benefits and it is easy work. Free coffee etc...

Cons

They do not respect intelligent people or technical skills. When you interview, you'll notice it's all behavioral. A suave appearance and persona will get you far, but they don't care about any hard-skills. They actually think an MBA is a "technical degree" (feel free to verify by looking through the job postings) and unfortunately, I am not joking when I say that you have a better chance of a promotion with an SNHU degree than one from MIT or Caltech. The leadership is incompetent and promotes people who are not a threat, but are good at sales and easily manipulated. People are rewarded for handling big projects, so people create them, so that they can claim victory, but it just causes a big mess and after they move on, others are left to clean up the mess (with no recognition). The Data-science community is run by actuaries. They think they understand a lot, but don't, they learn high-level details of 100 year old technologies. They do hold a lot of power though and actitvely undermine people with statistical/mathmatical traning and experience, who could be a threat to them.
