Pros

- Top level management of Risk Engineering, CAT & HR, Country head etc (Grade 24 and above only) and this doesnt mean everyone lesser than grade 23 are bad as always they are few exceptions - Work Life Balance - Free Cab services - IT Support services like Laptop for almost all etc - BCP Plans - Monthly Freebies etc etc etc etc etc etc there are 'N' number of Pros to talk about AIG, but then recently Churn out rate is too high (to my knowledge more than 50%) it is due to many factors and few are mentioned in the Cons section - NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF MANAGEMENT

Cons

- Field work engineers given with white collar jobs and in a short span of time due to restructuring program : Empowerment given to them in the name of team leads - Changes are inevitable and going with the flow is good for an organization and for employees, wherein due to restructuring : Myth is there in AIG with RE – If change is there it mean anyone can be a team lead now - New empowerment makes TLs to be a dictators - Out of the main campus irrespective of time, please do not miss to take an approval signature from your team lead - US is known by its name as all the fifty states is united, unfortunately if you work for that team no logic of unity don’t try to share your knowledge outside your zone if not you will receive imposition in the name of work on low tiv locations triages as well and perform 25 triages in a day else you will be yelled in front of your work mates - Word imposition remembers you school days, yes it happens here due to new empowerment provided to unskilled or non competant TLS - Birthday and doing early shift is an offence even though you work for 9 hours in early shift and complete your work - Weekly tracker details and not meeting the expectation of your TL (not SLA), expect to have one to one discussion - Micro Management – fifteen minutes late due to traffic then extend half an hour while leaving office to complete 9 hours in the office - Concious biasness if you from the place where your manager belong to and if you speak what your manager speak you will be offered - You earn in pounds and we earn penny, but joining treat will be forcefully taken from you in Euros - Friday funs are good, wherein taking your savings penny and making fun out of me is not actually fun - Sarcasim no more words, TL is well trained on that - Positive character is looked as attitude and taken in all one to one meetings, are TLs aware what is actually attitude refers to

Pros

AIG pays well. Pretty good benefits package & bonus structure.

Cons

The work is wild at AIG! Also, there are ALOT of people at AIG so, everybody has to weigh in on everything you do...keeping you bottlenecked in your work flow. AIG is not the place for a brand new, entry level adjuster breaking into the commercial space and they pretty much only hire experienced people HOWEVER, it does not matter-management will not trust your experience therefore, there is little to no autonomy! You will find yourself touching the same thing 3 or 4 times because your always waiting on permission or someone else's opinion on something, etc. You got to get permission to send for conflict check, got to get an opinion to answer a demand, a tender, an ROR ltr. .. they pounce on defense counsel's hourly rate to be cheap with them which makes them work w/less efficiency...dragging the claim out so they can get their billable hours. You will work your fingers to the bone for that good pay & you will be frustrated and exhausted, ALL THE TIME!...The environment is pretty stuffy w/a very high stress level, (especially with long time AIG employees who definitely drink the "kool-aid" and think they are hot stuff). They will keep you in dumb meetings on your claims all the time presenting your claims with everyone scared to make a decision plus, they never want to pay the claims, they are cheap as hell. They will make you have to scramble at a mediation to get more money even though you told them what you needed when they forced you to present the same claim to 3 different people before the mediation date. To me, management are glorified overseers who still handles the claim...they just tell you what to do or, they come behind you and second guess everything. And, they are trying to enforce 3 days in-office a week (which is hell for ATL traffic) plus, it's crowded on the elevator (which seems to get stuck more often than what I am comfortable with) and trying to find a desk when everyone decides to come in at the same time. It's a good temporary move....if you need the advanced commercial experience and/or want to reset your pay...stay for 1-2 yrs then, go somewhere else with work from home and a little more professional autonomy.
