Pros

Teams can be flexible, but the company draws a hard line on a lot

Cons

—3 year vest for 401k company matching contributions, paid annually around February. —4 day RTO. Expectations are high for this. Some managers are chill. Some are incredibly strict. Company only seems to care about putting butts in seats. —Health insurance costs are mediocre. Not great but not the worst. —PTO is accrued but you can buy up to 5 additional days, and 5 roll over to the following year. But have to be used in the first quarter.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
