Pros

I recently began the next chapter of my banking career at Bank OZK and it has been a wonderful experience! The HR representative was very efficient in guiding me through the onboarding process. I office remotely and the IT team has been very helpful in getting my technology set up. My new co-workers have been very welcoming!

Cons

I would still consider myself to be a "newbie" so, there are no cons to report at this time. My experience has been great!

Pros

Trying to expand rapidly, so there is opportunity to move into leadership roles. Good salary for beginning software engineers, average otherwise. Generally relaxed-ish environment with ability to make friends.

Cons

Highly political atmosphere. This introduces a lot of rigidity in the decision making process since it reverts to an authority based model with a lack of feedback from below. Generally you will be assigned a business app and have a fixed schedule and variable scope (hint: positive creep only) with expectation of high quality (good luck, code reviews are often rubber stamped, QA isn't taken seriously by those in charge). Many things are backwards and you won't be able to change them since the people in charge of development will take suggestions of different technologies, processes, infrastructure, or application design as time wasters/signs of laziness/lack of commitment. Ironically, there is/was still a lot of manual testing going on since it is faster than changing the process...
