American International Group Employer Reviews

Working at AIG is truly rewarding for your career as there are many deadlines and ad hoc requests that the FP&A team need to respond to.

From day one you are exposed to the Executive committee and the MD where you are navigating them through their financials and targets.

Of course I learn new things everyday. Fun to be with the people I work with. That's actually the reason why I love working there. Though management appreciation is being begged. Compensation is not that OK in my region. I'm not sure in other regions.

since i joined the groups were new, management was new and goal was clear, so working with high caliber colleagues from banking and insurance has been a delight. as new regulators join the discussions on how company is being risk managed, having ability to see the whole picture has been a great asset and senior management has definitely provided that. – more... only downside i have seen is lack of a cohesive culture in some areas of the organization and parallel efforts as a result so as company redefines and matures i believe these issues will correct itself. the hr framework is in fix so hoping a 360 review process is implemented so it is a more balanced approach that will ensure company doesn't lose good talent. – less

A typical day is sitting in your cubicle staring at the computer screens entering information from contracts. Managers were micromanagers. As employee, you are rarely made to feel appreciated.

I would answer calls from insurance agents that wanted me to help them with getting their licenses from every state. I also completed and mailed out their licenses. I loved my co-workers and managers. The hardest part was when we were told that the company was closing and people were upset and didn't complete their work correctly.

Access to benefits and paid time off for part-time work is excellent. Job itself is very boring. No opportunities for advancement. Annual raises have been cancelled.

For the past 14 years I've worked with the brightest and most skilled professionals in the Insurance business. I worked primarily in the Financial Institutions Group which is regarded as one of the toughest underwriting unit at AIG. Underwriting finacial instutions affords you the opprortunity to learn complex, emerging issues facing the world of finance – more... eg. Wall street reform, emerging EPL issues, forced placed insurance, changes in the world of annuities, corporate governance etc. Understanding the varied issues is essential to evaluate and price risk but it is also cool explaining these concepts at a barbecue or dinner party. – less

AIG provided a great opportunity for me to use my skills and dedication to advance my career in this industry. I was provided many opportunities to learn various parts of the annuity business. I worked for several different managers and directors and prior to my years from 2000 to 2007 I worked from 1990 through 1994 as a Commission supervisor.I wouldn't – more... call my various duties as hard but challenging. I made good friends who all worked together toward a common goal, to be a part of a growing leader in the Amarillo area. – less

While at AIG I was promoted 3 times. The management valued employees and gave them room for growth. Training and development were provided that were second to none.

Interesting job. I have learned so much since I have been here.

Great place to work if you like insurance industry. People are most welcome and always willing to help you.

Working for AIG in the Worker's Compensation division is not easy. You are constantly pressed for time and often wonder how you get everything done. That said, the co-workes are great and everyone is there to help you out. From day one you need to press yourself to learn the job and how to get it done quckly.

It is encouraging to help people and the – more... rewards of can be great if you take the job seriously. – less

Overall good company for Indian IT firms. Nothing to say specifically.

The management is rude, at least the person I worked with was. I needed to talk to him about certain things and he would never be there to discuss certain situations.

Learnt a lot about Insurance and Re-insurance products while working on a project at AIG.

I was challenged by customers and employees on a daily basis which I find enjoyable because it makes me feel useful. I have learned underwriting guidelines of the company, state regulations, and have taken many leadership management courses. My co-workers are always a blessing as they provide me with many new possibilities and challenges. The hardest – more... part of the job is not being able to give a customer what they want. The most enjoyable part was being able to assist anyone who needed my help. – less

Nothing personal, just not interested in working in financial institutions.
