Pros

They do allow remote work.

Cons

If you are seasoned in the field, it's doubtful you'll feel a sense of accomplishment in working here. To work here is to accept that whatever the most inefficient way to do something is, that's the way it will/should be done. You have to "bid" for time off and it's done by seniority. The department as a whole is chaotic and it feels like you're working with your hair on fire at all times. They do a lot of promoting from within but it isn't always conductive to having the best and the brightest in positions where that's what is needed. Work life balance is little more than a pipe dream here, regardless of what you're told during an interview or onboarding. You'll learn of procedural updates by accident as it may or may not be communicated with something changes. For such a large bank, the investment in technology is lacking as it can be pretty unreliable.

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.
