Pros

-Great benefits. -Intensive training and support systems set up. -Hybrid function. - Provided equipment.

Cons

- STD teams are normally overloaded an understaffed. - Depending of the team and region you have you could have different contracts for every claimant to study. -Upper management setting unrealistic expectations for turn around and changing them AGAIN as soon as they are hit. -Though training is intensive, it can be hit or miss and you will likely have tk relearn something because EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING Besides the concrete rules are situational. -You can get very difficult cases and are expected to not let it get to you emotionally. Which can be difficult when you have a terminal claimant and cant approve them.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
