Pros

Overall good company that pays well. If you happen to work for a good, fair manager that has genuine interest in you, you are set.

Cons

Unfortunately, similar to many other big companies, have recently let go of many experienced staff to be replaced by cheaper, younger workers. Loyalty is definitely not the Massmutual way.

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
