Pros

Decent work-life balance depending on team/department. Some flexibility with hybrid work.

Cons

M&T is trying to act like an early-2000s Silicon Valley company since the hiring of their current CTO. This both does not fit their business model (most of the Bank are not software developers…) and is leading to decisions about staffing and workplace environments that have been proven to be ineffective over the past two decades. In my opinion, these changes have come at the expense of the bank’s previous focus on family/life balance and has reversed what used to be some of the best retention in the industry.

Pros

The team members were generally supportive, and the role offered exposure to probate and estate administration. It can be a starting point for gaining experience in a specialized area of banking.

Cons

Many of the advertised benefits of the role did not align with the day-to-day reality. Opportunities for growth, training, and process improvement were limited, and the workload often felt driven by volume rather than quality. Communication and expectations could be inconsistent, making it difficult to feel supported or set up for long-term success.
