      Different rules for Executive - Out of touch with majority of workers

      Senior business technology specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong work-life balance ethic. Strojng career and education support.

      Cons

      Overlapping departments. No strong leadership. High bureaucracy. A lot of PowerPoint slides but not much delivered. or example, months are spent creating PowerPoints and signoff documents when the entiure system could be built in days. Auite incrdible to experience. The experienced developers do not get to do their best work to deliver true value as they are bogged down in process control. Funny how with so much process control still had a $500 million dollar exposure.

      Good starter career.

      senior applications support analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many opportunities to move around to different areas. I.e., moving from developer to business analyst. With the right management behind you the bank has a strong position in maintaining continuing education to further your educational goals. Project management office is top notch.

      Cons

      Pay scales are disproportionate relative to the industry (for developers). Many non-standards in the bank with regards to technology. Too much cross-charging and glass walls between different business groups.

      Form Triumphs Over Substance

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most people seem to recognize the importance of work-life balance. Lots of different areas to explore career-wise.

      Cons

      Have seen some improvements in the current leadership, but I still don't get the sense that we've a got a very strong strategic direction. Some of the executives that I've come into contact with seem more intent on making themselves look good in front of their higher-ups than on doing what's best for the best - sort of a triumph of form over substance.
