Pros

group I worked for was very supportive and collegial, a place there was opportunity to grow. Later with a new leader it changed substantially.

Cons

still siloed in many ways; very political. Can't make decisions - except by group which means it doesn't happen. Instructed working 7-7 was the new way - didn't see any evidence of this but this was somehow the expectation (after exec mgmt indicated pace was important - pace for some was defined as work all the time and faster)

Pros

BMO is supportive when it comes to work/life balance and flexible working arrangements. The sales pressure from management is more reasonable than some of the other banks. There are fewer dramatic shifts in strategy when compared with some of the other banks. It can be a good place to work if local management is of high quality.

Cons

A weak performance culture allows pockets of incompetence to thrive in the company. There is not enough emphasis placed on customer service. Lending guidelines are very conservative, which makes it more difficult to book business. Computer systems are old and software is poorly designed.
