Pros

Decent pay and bonus compared to other wall street banks. Good 401k plan. Standard wall street firm health plan and other perks. Company itself is not a bad place to work for.

Cons

While the company need changes, management were either too eager to break everything or too slow to make a difference. Killing the staff because the management keeps changing for the last 2 years and direction keeps changing too.

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.
