Pros

Good work and life balance. It is more up to you whether you want to work hard or not, but don't expect the additional bonus at the end.

Cons

Old technologies, big company with lot of bureaucracy, no effective processes. Company is in the cost cutting mode, would more likely lay off employees and bring in out source team or contractors to fill in temporarily than reward bonus for hard working employees.

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.
