Pros

Leaving really provides inner peace after being in such a dysfunctional environment. But you can skip that step completely by following what so many others have already reiterated. Sometimes the best thing about a job is when you leave. Feel free to look at other recent reviews from technology too they are very revealing. But if you are looking for a cult like environment that is out of touch with reality you will feel right at home. If you enjoy paying for parking or commuting to a fancy office tower to feel good about yourself, They provide gimmicks of all kinds(free food) to attract employees to the office that a small minority is interested in working at. But why even listen to surveys and what the employees want if it goes against your cults mission. Management can and will manipulate you when it's in their best interest. Warning: This is especially prevalent when you are revealing blatant truths about others incompetency in their job. They will bully you and belittle you to put you down it's definitely standard practice. As they need something to make up for their lack of competence and feel better about themselves at the expense of others.

Cons

Toxic environment Out of touch leadership Incompetence tolerated and promoted to the highest degree Old boys club alive and thriving Bullying, undermining, manipulation all common practice Technical debt from years of poor leadership that continues to build Incompetency is promoted and celebrated, as long you are a professional bootlicker. *No plan on making remote work permanent* *Hours of time wasting pointless meetings*

Pros

Bank Holidays and the vacation time

Cons

They hire knowing there is not enough work to keep you busy, Lack of pay and what they promised to make up for the pay in bonus and OT does not happen. Lack of experienced management who knows what they are doing. QC department that picks on every small detail vs knowing how to get a loan purchased and move on. MOST OF ALL, there is NO training. You are left out in to figure and fend for yourself the M&T Bank way. Lots of useless weekly meetings and the only ones that stay are the long time employees are have no experience working in a "real" mortgage company to know what is right and wrong.
