Lots of Support, but lots of Bureaucracy - Senior Developer PNC Financial Services Group Employee Review

Pros

Lots of training and development opportunities, great communication throughout the division, very supportive team, well-staffed, above-average work-life balance, excellent documentation and support, operates like a well-oiled machine based on tried and true processes, but also works toward continuous improvement.

Cons

The IT organization is so huge that it feels siloed. Bureaucracy and oversight feel oppressive. Necessary for such a large organization handling such assets, but prospective employees who get impatient with red tape and meticulous process should be aware of what they're getting into.

Pros

Compared with similarly sized institutions, PNC offers decent work-life balance. But it all depends on who your manager is. People are generally very helpful and always willing to answer questions. For the most part, I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Compensation is frequently ranked among the bottom percentile in the industry, and this was no exception for myself. They do not take into account the cost of living of a certain area when you are in their analyst program. For example, someone in Nashville would have to the same compensation as someone with the same position in San Francisco. During my time there, it definitely felt very “laissez faire”. Communication among deal team members was also a bit unpolished, with juniors frequently having to play catch up. The bureaucracy and level of siloing between lines of business is awful. It slows down deal execution and overall efficiency.
