Pros

- good pay - generally have good people to work with, though this depends a lot on which group and the management style - benefits are on par with other big banks in Canada

Cons

- lots of politics in the technology division between managers - generally poor morale - senior leadership doesn't properly communicate or explain many decisions, especially as some of those decisions seem to take the organization in circles - lack of 360 feedback means there are many poor people leaders in mid to senior level roles (director or senior director)

Pros

Good people; There are plenty of opportunities to learn and master the details of a specific project, paid professional courses. The work environment is fairly laid back.

Cons

Difficult to be involved in projects outside of your group. Growth opportunities within a specific group are limited (implying that one has to eventually move). Compensation below the industry standard for comparable positions.
