Pros

Building is very enabling with a modern hot-desking fit out. Working from home, working different hours is possible with flexible working and the culture has moved towards a engaging and positive one

Cons

Most banks are under pressure from innovators and wish to become 'start-ups' in their approach to customer solutions yet they're hindered with multiple legacy systems and a need to grow revenue and profits and to pay dividends those back to CBA. This contradiction doesn't work - a desire to constantly cut costs and reduce spending in IT whilst at the same time growing IT. Cost cut our way to a glorious future - said no-one, ever.

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.

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

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