What's the Company Culture Like at MetLife?

Collaboration is also important here at MetLife. We work in an agile way, so there’s constant communication — think standups, quick syncs, and problem-solving together. Everyone is moving in the same direction, and the team culture is super positive. People say, “We’ve got your back,” and they really mean it. 

From day one, I felt encouraged to explore, speak up, and take ownership of my path. MIM is a large organization, but it doesn’t feel rigid. There's room to move, grow, and find your niche. Knowing that I wasn’t locked into one business unit gave me comfort. If I didn’t fall in love with where I started, there were other areas to explore, as long as I worked hard. 
 

I would say the greatest benefit of working on the development team here is being on a diverse team with members from very different geographic locations, ethnic backgrounds and technical backgrounds. You really can learn a lot from those different perspectives.

I value the overall company culture. At MetLife, we care for each other and work hard to uplift one another every single day. An example of where I personally experience this outside of my day-to-day role, is through our Buddy Program where mentors are aligned to new hires that recently joined the team. As a mentor, I meet with my new hire mentees once a week for 16-weeks to provide support and answer any questions that they have.
