Pros

Flexible hours and the ability to work from home a few days per week allows me the freedom to raise my family while working full-time. I have a wonderful team and outstanding leadership within my department. I am allowed the independence to constantly improve personally and professionally. MassMutual truly is a wonderful environment for working mothers!

Cons

Loyalty doesn't seem to be rewarded. For many employees who worked their way up from entry level jobs, it is difficult to earn a competitive salary. This holds true regardless of education and training received since becoming employed at MassMutual, and despite stellar performance. It's a known fact that you have to leave the company and come back in order to earn the base salary you deserve.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
