Pros

Most people at MassMutual really care about living the values of mutuality. This is true within the data science team where scientific rigor and making contributions (both to the company and wider CS community) are valued really highly. Fun group of smart people who are also very supportive and helpful to each other (not a cut-throat culture!) We host regular data science meetups and hackathons for social good. Besides all this, the benefits are great too -- MassMutual recently increased family (and other types of) leave benefits.

Cons

Nothing major, honestly. Work-life balance is great 95% of the time in my role. Happy with that.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

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
