Pros

Good people - but then there are good people in all companies!

Cons

Lots of management (aka bureaucracy) but no leadership. No "man management". AIG have developed a new management style - "Management By Intranet"; I had more contact with the intranet telling me what's going on, or what the latest changes to strategy, organisation and personnel were, or what compulsory online course I had to do than from my own line manager. In one case I was line managed by someone for 6 months who I never met!

Pros

Good compensation structure, bonuses were higher that the industry average. Freedom to be entrepreneurial and do what I thought would work in my territory

Cons

Zonal management had a lot of turn over at the time, some not qualified to lead.
