Pros

Good exposure for grad students and beginners

Cons

Overbearing rehabilitation process, uninspired assessments, frequent management changes, divides between teams, disorganised, complicated hierarchy, insensitive and lack of empathy often displayed, poor management skills, false promises and not keeping their word given during the interview process, micromanagement, no clear communication and then blame-game approach, extremely harsh and inflexible return to work post major health crisis management style, no prior notice given to make position redundant and notice given on the day itself shows lack of respect, empathy and even poor ethics although they sell insurance on the basis on empathy which is pretty ironic. By far, one of the worst experiences in my 12 years of IT experience and would never forget the toll it took on my mental health which was communicated to the direct management but was disregarded/ignored and finally have been blocked by them, may be some guilt could be the reason because I sure was very professional in my exit.

Pros

TAL has been a great place that is a large company in the industry but also feels close-knit on the inside. Opportunities are given to those that seek it. People are candid and passionate about their work.

Cons

Like most financial companies, change can be slow but progress is always happening. Sometimes there can be a dull in communication between management and teams.
