Pros

1. Decent benefits to current market 2. Often attracts and hires top-level talent 3. Exceptional potential to be an industry leader in multiple areas due to the scope of operations and the talent pool

Cons

1. "Leaders" have archaic philosophies on leadership and fail to take advantage of the talent available to them. 2. Repeated messages from "Leaders" is a lack of trust of the employees, resulting in policies and practices that make ideas of DevOps and Agile words of the month with no lasting benefit. 3. Leadership proclaims "collaboration" as a driver for decisions but disables it by setting rigid barriers that result in termination if crossed.

Pros

Some of the internal platforms have dev teams that would rival any other tech company. Can learn a lot if you end up on one of those teams.

Cons

Completely crap shoot as to if you land on a good team or a completely incompetent one. If you're on a bad one good luck. On a bad team you can expect vague work requirements and huge work loads with unmanageable delivery timelines. Also they're outsourcing to India heavily. Also also, most senior management is completely out of touch with reality and don't understand the tech stack they own (more you interact with them the more frighteningly obvious it becomes). HR is completely incompetent, of course, it's an open secret at the bank.
