A workplace worth celebrating: Inside MetLife Investment Management (MIM)
Being recognized as a great place to work means more when it comes from the employees who live it every day.
MetLife Investment Management, LLC (MIM) is honored to share that we’ve been named a 2025 Best Place to Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments for five consecutive years. This recognition reflects cultures that have been built—and sustained—by our people. Because the list is based on employee feedback, it offers a meaningful view into daily life across our organizations and why so many choose to build their careers with us.
What makes MIM a great place to work? Our people say it best.
MIM brings together over 150 years of investment experience with the mindset of a growing, global investment manager – one where employees are encouraged to lead, experiment, and help shape what’s next.
But what really stands out is how that shows up day to day.
Employees say:
“The values at MetLife Investment Management work with your work life. Time off is always available when needed. Managers are always willing to have meetings to get stuff resolved and hear our opinions.”
“The biggest thing I enjoy about working here are the people. It is totally true for our regional office in particular. I thoroughly enjoy every single person I work with.”
“The company is supportive when it comes to personal and professional development. From various training programs to mentorship opportunities, there are so many ways for us to improve our skills and better ourselves.”
In short, it’s a place where high standards and human connection go hand in hand.
A culture built with purpose and backed by action
At MIM, culture isn’t something we talk about once a year. It’s built into how we recognize impact, support well-being, and create moments for connection.
A few things that make us MetLife:
- We recognize employees who go above and beyond through our enterprise‑wide Global Recognition program, New Frontier Game Changer, which celebrates meaningful impact across the organization.
- We plant a tree to celebrate employee work anniversaries, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and long‑term impact.
- We build camaraderie through activities like park cleanups, Eco Challenges, and our global Volunteering campaign. We also run a “Removing Pebbles” program, where employees are encouraged to submit ideas that make everyday work easier.
- We support well‑being by offering free access to eMLife by eMindful, and small ways to recharge, like walking groups, and wellness webinars.
These moments build a workplace where people feel connected, not just to their teams, but to the impact they make.
A top-25 global investment manager
We are entering a new chapter with the integration of PineBridge Investments, which has also been named a 2025 Best Place to Work in Money Management by Pensions & Investments for six consecutive years. As one of the world’s top 25 institutional asset managers1, we are shaped by entrepreneurial spirit and enterprise scale. By coming together, our platform now spans even more public and private asset classes across global markets, expanding opportunities for employees to collaborate, take ownership, and contribute to a unified investment organization.
As MIM President Brian Funk puts it:
“We’re not just managing assets. We’re building a unified firm that prioritizes people and performance.”
For clients, this means elevated investment solutions built on deep, specialized expertise.
For employees, it means the chance to influence meaningful decisions, work across regions, and help shape the future of a growing global platform.
What this means for your career
At MIM, expertise is shared, not siloed. Asset management is a team sport, and analysts, portfolio managers, traders, risk professionals, and client‑facing teams work side by side to deliver long‑term results. No one person ‘owns’ the client relationship; we win together.
This collaborative model creates space for growth at every level. Whether you’re early in your career or bringing years of experience, you’ll find mentors who invest in your development, peers who value your ideas, and leaders who trust you to take on meaningful challenges.
Being named a Best Place to Work is both a celebration and a reminder of what we’re committed to sustaining: a workplace where people feel empowered, included, and connected to a larger purpose.
