"Great company to work for."

"I’ve worked for New York Life for over 11 years. As a mutual (not publicly traded) company, the leadership team can make decisions for the long term (we’ve been around for almost 175 years) and for our policy holders and is driven by the goal of being there for our clients when they need us most."

"I worked for NYL for 3 years from 2016 to 2019 including my internship in the summer of 2015. The company's rotational program is great for anyone who wants to get exposure to different areas of a large corporation. The leaders of the program do their best to hear out the associates and try their best to tailor their career path in the way which the associate prefers."

"Its a good company for stability of your job but doesn't focus more on technical advancement in the field of software engineering."

"Highly political with incompetent managers and senior leadership. If you have even half a brain, you don't belong there. Culture is like one big support group instead of a forward moving organization. Lots of allowances for employees and all of their excuses but absolutely zero accountability at every level."

"I personally feel that there is no growth opportunity."

"I have worked for NYL for 10+ years and they are a good company that preaches how they are client first and agent focused but that is not true unless you are in the top 5% of producers. I have called the ethics of my particular GO into questions a number of times."

"I worked very hard for 13+ years. Besides my job responsibilities, always I was asked to back up different departments, mentor students, travel to other campuses for work no one else wanted. I always complied with such requests no matter how long my day became. Technology helped in their decision to push me out the door."

"NYL is a great company for brokers/sellers... and then there's corporate. In summation it was a great company to work for. 2 years from now it will be again. That said currently they are going through a reorg and are alienating their newer employees by eliminating opportunity and growth."
