Impressive Company but Poor Culture - Leader (Assistant Vice President) Brighthouse Financial Employee Review

Pros

High pay and they are willing to pull in young individuals to leadership positions (director/AVP) if they demonstrate potential. The CEO is fantastic.

Cons

The senior leadership team (SLT/C-level individuals) are mostly ex-MetLife, and promote people based on their personal preferences or people’s tenure at MetLife. The culture is pretty rough (especially between technology, operations, and distribution/marketing), as they want to crank out new products like crazy but don’t have the right processes in place to do so. They brought in a lot of good talent across different business areas, but don’t know how to leverage them or provide career paths for them.
