Bottomline reviews

The core platform for Digital Banking 3.0 is busted. Management will force you to work weekends and holidays. Management will deny your vacation to meet there half sold software and over promised schedule. Management will call you any hour of any day, night, and weekend and ask you to build some insane piece of functionality in 12 hours. Management thinks every bug can be fixed in 4 hours or less, despite the massive technical debt they have already leveraged on the platform. You can not focus on one thing. You are forced to work on dev support for one month on a crappy legacy platform that only the old school devs with a ton of tribal knowledge can figure out. You will spent about 70 percent of your time switching and building environments working on both the front end and back end, and everyone is expected to be full stack. Agile is dead here. You have no input. You are assigned work based on what your scrum master thinks they know.

In addition to my advice to management - the HR dept. (starting at the top) is seriously horrible. That was without a doubt the most difficult and anxiety-driven environment I have ever worked in. Not much else to say on that. Discretionary bonuses are really, really discretionary. Tip: send positive communications on every little thing you do, even when you are just fixing your own mistake, and you get paid. Training; there is none. It is true that a few College Hires every year get 4-5 weeks, but there is not a single training department or team member available for all other 1,500+ employees. The work life balance is a big challenge. This is a 50-60+ hour a week job, period, in any position.
