Pros

Pay and benefits are nice and some of the people are very nice.

Cons

They micro manage everything you do, they have two time reporting systems, automated tracking of all tasks, endless meetings, 1:1 requirements with your manager every two weeks to go over your tasks. They have tons of corporate training you have to take for legal reasons dealing with respect of people, bias ect. Its like they feel everyone is a womanizer or a child that can not perform as a professional. They follow an Agile development plan where they burn you out with endless 2 week springs and tons of meetings and micromanagement to the point you never can keep up. Very little opportunity to move up.

Good benefits. Generous 401k match

Cons

Started my career at Liberty Mutual as a Workers' Compensation intern. In the beginning, everything was going well. The workload was demanding, but I genuinely enjoyed the job and the work I was doing. One year later, I got promoted to claim adjuster. Things changed after my manager was seriously injured in a car accident. The department director took over managing our team, and the work environment became completely different. She was extremely rude and practiced excessive micromanagement. She expected me not to take any PTO if my work wasn't completely finished, even when I needed time off because my grandmother had suddenly passed away. The constant pressure and lack of empathy took a serious toll on my mental health. I developed depression during that time and eventually had to seek help from a psychologist. In the end, I decided to leave Liberty Mutual. It was one of the best decisions I made for my well-being, and I would not consider returning to the company.
