Pros

The clients and opportunity for a diverse look & insight at different peoples views, companies, etc. Notwithstanding the comments below, there are numerous fabulous employees with the best intentions.

Cons

Sr management does not adhere well to their own promises, particularly in light of claims made to employees and clients. Too many to list.

Pros

BMO provides a great balance between work and personal life. When I had knee surgery I was planning to off for 1 month. The HR person at BMO told me to take another 2 weeks off and then start working part time for the next 2 weeks until I was ready to resuem my role. The people at BMO are kind and respectful towards each other.

Cons

BMO doesn't always give fair value when it comes to salaries. They say that they are competitive but I find this isn't always the case. Also, your career growth is quite limited if you are in the IT area and wish to remain technical. You reach a certain level in position and salary and stay there. In many cases you are forced to leave the IT area and enter the Project Management area to get ahead. You are often more recongized with organizing social events then you are implmenting a great solutions.
