Pros

The tech employees that I've worked with at M&T Bank are almost unilaterally great, and I like the flexibility individuals have in moving around internally and learning new things. I've never really been asked to do too much, and my work has been appreciated continually. In addition, management has always been understanding and flexible in terms of work/life balance.

Cons

The company rarely promotes from within, and has archaic HR policies that they use as an excuse to prevent pay raises and promotions. While they have taken strides to become more in line with industry standards, they are still lagging in base pay. In addition, most tech teams are required to report into office at least three days a week, into the city, and parking is not provided.

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.
