Pros

I met some really nice people working there - the clients in particular are great. Benefits were competitive. I had plenty of resources to help me do my job up until just after the merger in 07, when things started to head south.

Cons

Bad attitudes are rewarded, so long as the person is bringing in revenue. There also seems to be mass layoffs right before the end of the year, every year. I experienced some sexism/harassment issues. Good ideas/intentions often got held up in bureaucracy red tape.

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.
