Pros

Only applies pre-CBA takeover - friendly team, good staff recognition, supportive, relaxed atmosphere. my approx. 3 years working here was definitely a great platform into the banking world. good managers who were supportive and generous with their time and expertise. senior management was typical but still approachable compared to other financial institutions i've worked in. salary was bonus was generous too. this all changed during the GFC - refer Cons

Cons

once the GFC hit. lies, lies, and more lies. was told during one no one was being made redundant. few weeks later - your fired. pretty much all middle management gone or demoted. Luckily i escaped the carnage but alot of good people either made redundant or left. After restructure alot of ex-senior management from NAB and GE came onboard. Seems like they were the rejects as its a cold toxic place to work there now from what i hear (i've since left). More CBA personnel joining so soon be swallowed into CBA anyway.

Pros

Great culture, Flexibility, Nice building, Talented people, strong processes and always evolving tech stack.

Cons

Sometime work can be monotonous, if you are stuck in a team for long time. Finding opportunities to move across teams, you have to fend for yourselves, people leaders too busy or aloof to help.

Pros

What you put in is what you get out, smaller nimble bank - more opportunity for growth within company

Cons

Regional bank so limiting for opportunities outside of the company - not an easy transition
