Pros

Friendly coworkers with ok benefits LEAVE with-in 2 years

Cons

• The pay is below the industry standard • Felt like paid Slavery • Long hours • Your extra effort is never noticed. • When an issue arises it's a finger pointing game instead of trying to resolve the issue. • Minimum controls in place to pervent errors • Inadequate training ( if something doesn't go as planned luck). • Want innovation ideas but won't consider your idea because it's there way or the highway. • Outdated software (leaves too many opportunities for errors) • Management is unsure how to process some transactions and it's a guessing game sometimes. • If you want a promotion, your hard work and long hours won't do it ,be prepared to kiss some butt • Turnover is VERY HIGH from layoffs and people just leaving. (Personally knew about 23 people who left. I'm not being dramatic ) • Career Growth is limited don't listen to the dream they try to sell you.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
