Pros

Some technology groups have high energetic staff; talented and very capable. But they’re suppressed and isolated. Charlie.Scharf (CEO) has good intent for the company by targeting bureaucracy and making people “work” rather than work their relationships/politics for self-gains.

Cons

Lack of good technical talent at Sr Management Level. Too much cronyism amongst the Sr. managers. They’re collectively ill-minded and don’t work for the organization. Just working to promote their self interests and not worry about project delivery.

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.
