Pros

Good company to work for. Flexible schedules allow for balance between work and personal time. Our teams are devoted to providing solid solutions to our business and take pride in their accomplishments. I think BMO has made solid business decisions and this will provide stability to our customers and employees.

Cons

Some pockets of poor performers are not dealt with appropriately. Some policies are not requried and do not provide cost effective solutions and value to shareholders.

Pros

In midst of all this financial crisis, a top performing Canadian bank employee should be proud to be working for a healthy financial institution. BMO provides employees with several learning opportunities. The Institute For Learning (IFL) provides a world-class facility dedicated to specialised BMO training for a variety of roles, from the new graduate analyst through to senior executives. Certain groups are very strong in hiring for diversity.

Cons

As with any large corporation, office politics at work can impede project timelines. In the software development world, it is understood that project managers are not necessarily technical savvy, but they should at least have capacity to understand what is going on. It's been in my experience that some project managers have no idea on what is actually being developed, resulting in time wasted on miscommunication.
