Avantages
AIG has an complicated organizational structure, that is expected to simplify in the near future. The insurance industry requires an influx of new talent, so opportunities to step up and grow are bound to open. The new CEO has his head and heart in the right place, just has to work on bringing along at least 3 levels of management below him. The one constant is change. Initiative and boldness are usually rewarded. The different ways that AIG's business is connected to themes in daily headlines is understated.
Inconvénients
Political machinations are a hallmark of corporate America and not unique to AIG. Very important to know who are the 3 other people you will work with, in addition to your manager. "Actual" project benefits are never tied back or compared to "proposed" benefits. Technology debt is significant, but acknowledged.
