Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits and a conservative company culture helping to keep this financial services company afloat. Good understanding of work - life issues, a family-oriented workplace. When there is a clear direction of a business objective, there is good cooperation across divisions. Still a large company with a strong brand name.
Cons
Little hope for advancement based on merit. No career track, little planning for future. Tech employees often viewed as necessary cost vs. adding value. Often very little in terms of clear business goals. Micro-management can be a problem. Outsourcing is here to stay. Many processes and procedures hinder actual work taking place, and seem to be over-cautious even in today's risk averse corporate environment.
