"My current leadership treat me like an adult - they challenge me, trust me to do the work, provide critical (helpful) feedback, and have their priorities in order. If my family ever needs me, I don't even have to ask - the answer is 'go.' I can't express how much that means to me. Also, the team that I work on is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and proactively helpful. It's unusual to have so many great people in one place."

MetLife ranks No. 10 on the 2025 World’s 25 Best Workplaces list.

"MetLife truly cares about your overall well-being. I've been with the company for 15 years and when I had a health scare last year, management sprang into action and with my grateful agreement, put me into a role within the same department that gave me more flexibility to truly focus on healing. Giving time off work for doctor appointments and physical healing is fairly commonplace in corporate settings. Meeting as a management team to collectively and proactively move an employee into a new position, without it being a step down, that they knew would aid in mental healing as well is exceptional."
