Pros

The pay is solid, and if you’re lucky, you might get to work with the few teammates who haven’t jumped ship yet. They’re smart, supportive, and probably wondering why they’re still here too.

Cons

Turnover this year has been extreme. The return-to-office mandate has left remote-eligible team members feeling uncertain and undervalued. We recently lost another top-performing, highly knowledgeable colleague who was a key resource for the team. Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent. The Site Reliability Engineering team consistently pushes initiatives that add little to no value, and the Development Excellence Team has caused multiple production outages by implementing policy changes without proper communication to impacted teams. Overall, the environment feels chaotic, reactive, and unsupportive.

Pros

What I'm most grateful for is my team and the culture. Pacific Life is full of supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging, and just genuinely great people. I feel challenged, appreciated, and lucky to be a part of this culture.

Cons

In-person requirement of four days a week is not consistent. There is lots of flexibility with that, though.

Pros

Great benefits and great team members!

Cons

The Return to Office policy is driving away one of our talented team members. Blindsided by reorgs. No polls done to determine what is best for our team.
