Pros

Generally good people and work environment. Diverse technology teams make for fun, interesting relationships. Lightstream product is first class. Data teams get to work with senior managers and get a lot of respect.

Cons

Large company with entrenched silos, poor coordination. Dated responses to nimble competitors. Best teammates are leaving, and BBT merger will only accelerate that. Problems get talked to death without meaningful action. Smart people think they can "figure it out" more often than learning the right thing to do. Bad management decisions addressed by more bad decisions, eliminating necessary positions and replacing usable technology. Lots of finger pointing when things go bad. Data science is hiring aggressively at the expense of other functions without a clear value proposition. Young analytics and data science people have no business knowledge.
