Pros

MetLife GOSC : 1) Only good for retirement 2) Give you exceptional Salary hike at the time of joining and even they can give you 100% hike. 3) Very easy to get Job in this company.

Cons

MetLife GOSC : I am not writing these points in the frustration, I want to help other people who are trying to join and thinking they will get good technology work. 1) If you are technical person, don't join this company. It's not the right place for a developer and a technical person. After joining with in two days you will realize that you made mistake. 2) Technical people are joining because interview process is very poor and technical panel also has very poor knowledge that is why people join this company very easily with good hike. And then they stuck. 2) Every time and every day you will compromise with everything because after joining with current salary you will not be able to get job outside. 3) It's BPO Company, not a technology company 4) HR people will tell you that they are having WFH facility but with WFH they are making candidates fools. 5) Office time are really bad(BPO timings also for technical people). 6) Policies are poor. 7) Transport facility pathetic. 8) It's not a product company. 9) Very poor technology work.

Pros

There are some prons but they get totally OVERSHADOWED by the huge CONS of this organisation

Cons

Management expect you to die for them, your rating gets hampered if you get hospitalised or someone dies at your home, you have to inform of these things too in advance, renumeration and recognition is a big time challenge, we are fake promised on a daily basis that we are working on it to raise the complexity or renumeration of your process and it will happen shortly and enormous workload is added. I am afraid someday they will even make us wear bangles and make us dance saying that we can ask of you anything within your working hours. Toxic team huddles are our daily dose, employees are thrashed on a daily basis, the higher the managerial position, the worse is the person. You can feel the greed in the eyes of management and you will never feel your concerns are addressed. They tell you to reach out to them freely because they will win, turn it into an argument, misuse their managerial power, and finally you will leave understanding that there is no point banging your head on a wall. Another corrupted policy which if followed here is the forced rating system of associate population. No matter if a team has performed tremendously, but there HAS to be at least ONE poor lad who is forcely rated as an unsatsifactory employee of the month, because hey, it's our policy and we can't do anything! I am afraid I may commit a suicide here someday shortly with the ongoing circumstances..

Pros

No Work ! Heaven for people who want to take out time for family

Cons

1. HR will harass you, they will say that we are sending the date on offer letter for these many days and you revert specifying your date on which you will be able to join. Then you will receive a call after days either you join on this date or leave it. 2. No learning so no growth 3. They will allow you to take laptops home but you cant carry camera phones to office. No lockers in the office.
