MetLife reviews

Company values are spouted but not followed, loads of backbiting, no team spirit, expected to work long hours for no reward, no work life balance, no support, terrible exec team. This company in the UK thinks it is better than it is, it is so disorganised with a terrible exec team that act like children and have little or no management experience at this level. Bad things are round the corner for this company

Tons of bureaucracy and bad management, especially at middle levels. During my last year there was lots of discussion at top (including from CEO) about reducing bureaucracy and becoming more transparent. Although the top-levels of the company had good intentions, their mission as such saw little/no success. There is tons of bureaucracy and "good old boy" type of environment at the various management/VP levels. Very little accountability and a lot of bad actors, micro-managing dysfunctional leaders (and individual contributors) who are allowed to misbehave with little/no recourse. For anybody looking for a good career with long-term future, this is not your place (especially if you are in tech). Tons of technical debt and dead-end/stale projects, that you will be likely dumped on and stuck with. Run for the hills...
