Pros

Pay and benefits are decent. Only real incentive to stay

Cons

No real org structure. Very Autocratic. Job roles undefined. No real Technology strategy. No significant movement in stock price for a longtime. Long work days as people seem to be putting out fires most of the time. In my experience it was hard to engage with senior folks.

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you did not have a better experience. The Bank does, however, have a generous employee referral program which is actively used and a good source for candidates.
