RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Manulife full-time for more than a year
Pros
Big organization with a lot of Actuarial roles. Very nice Senior Management in Actuarial teams that can teach you a lot Work is visible and promotions can be quick and is becoming more merit-based. Nnice study days for exams, good work-life balance, and ability to work remotely later. Great place to train and become an experienced actuary.
Cons
Recent CEO change has brought a lot of re-organization, so you need to be adaptive. However, the focus of new management is good.

Pros
Discounted mortgage, that's about it

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Manulife full-time for less than a year
Pros
Faced paced approach to moving to new tech Senior management is surely talented
Cons
Office space is too less. Shared workplace culture. You sit wherever you find a place. Not a good cost cutting measure. Work life balance depends on project to project and the delivery date Design System is still updating which leads to deferred development Illogical cost cutting like shutting down the cloud env after work hours and on weekends. Promotions very hard to get on merit rather than years of exp. Benefits are ok but very deceiving at times and are manipulative. Too much stress on core values. Agile is very new to them and the employees.
