Pros

Lots of deep technical problems to solve and a supportive work environment (depending on your manager of course).

Cons

The same pitfalls as any big corporation. The pay is way below market and the process of getting a promotion is unnecessarily drawn out and deeply political. CapOne believes they're a tech company but they're really a bank with a tech arm. No one at the manager level or above has any concept of what the situation is actually like on the ground and the decisions made are often in the opposite of the best interests of the engineering department.
