Pros

Will be able to work with good technology

Cons

Managers are a different species. They don't care about you, bad people (worst in some cases), so much groupism, if you decline to work 60 to 80 hours a week, they have a problem. They act like they care but they don't. Very traumatic experience and would suggest and developers in UI specially stay away.

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.
