Pros
The bank is moving in the right direction, with continued focus on aligning processes, people, and systems. As the organization integrates FCB, CIT, and SVB, it still feels somewhat piecemealed at times. However, the flexibility of working from home and the option to be fully remote are definite positives.
Cons
The environment remains quite siloed, with limited visibility across teams, leading to duplication of work and inefficiencies. Micromanagement and unconstructive behaviors in meetings can make collaboration challenging. Corporate support functions are often unresponsive or lack alignment with business needs. While the bank awaits clearer enterprise-wide strategic direction, employees are expected to stay busy without consistent priorities. There’s ongoing migration and consolidation, often communicated reactively rather than transparently, and organizational changes sometimes come to light only when colleagues suddenly depart.
