Pros

Very stable company for technologists. Opportunities to climb quickly. Good visibility into leadership decision making.

Cons

Falling behind in compensation. Painfully risk adverse to new technologies. Loads of regulatory and process red tape. Middle management content to let every project be a fire drill.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
