      Not so good for IT

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule Good work/life balance (for most) Lots of vacation time Relatively stable - if you have a family and don't care about career development this place is for you!

      Cons

      Incompetent management Too many layers of management No career development No training Forget about promotions, they don't happen Constant cross-department conflict They won't fire incompetent workers for fear of being sued Often hire outside people at higher levels and higher pay rather than promote Lots of satisfaction surveys, but they never do anything with them They talk about "empowerment", but you have no power to do anything

      Started Great, Then Tanked When Lincoln People Came In

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are OK. Nothing great.

      Cons

      Do NOT work in the U.S. division!!!! I worked here for five years and the first three were great. Then in 2008 they hired a bunch of Lincoln Financial executives to run the U.S. They have run it into the ground. All they have done is close down businesses and laid off hundreds of people who were there for over 10 years. And when they laid off top executives, almost all were replaced by Lincoln executives who everyone hates. Everyone I know who is still there is miserable, hate their managers, underpaid, overworked and looking for a job. They layoffs have continued and some people were let go right before Christmas, with more on the way. Worst of all, management knows everyone is miserable and is doesn't care. Don't even think about working here.
