Pros

Compensation and benefits can be competitive. The company itself is fincially sound. though underperforming due to a lack of leadership/decisioning at the C-level

Cons

While the company is sound, it's underperforming due to a lack of leadership/decisioning at the C-level. Senior leadership in IT does not collaborate. Constantly changing process direction. Growth opportunity reserved for new hires from the likes of BofA, etc. It's public knowledge that Truist has about a $800 mil cost reduction target. That's completely due to a lack of sound financial management, so they hire one of the big consulting firms to reorg and lay-off ~15-20% of the workforce because they don't know how to organize or run themselves. Reductions in 401k matching and in formulating bonuses, pension etc. If you have to cut that much, and you can't blame the economy given the state we've been in since 2020, something's very wrong.

Pros

Great benefits and pay with very good training programs, lots of opportunities for growth

Cons

The culture struggles to figure itself out after the big merger. Lots of senior employees were bitter about younger/new hires getting paid well. Lots of dealing with hierarchal mindsets that get in the way of the actual work.
