Pros

Good projects with customer impact. Complexity sufficient to hold interest. Bonus structure good. Business casual (IF everyone contributes to the United Way - the entire company is held to this though). Retirement plan is solid (great company match). Work/life balance not too shabby.

Cons

Severe information control. If you're an analyst, you give the info to your direct (plus a script so they 'look good') and they play telephone up through the C-level circle. It's a poor habit. Sometimes backbiting can occur when peers or managers may be threatened by errors you uncovered. Some execs do not understand the long game with quant analysis. Poor models may be 'ok' in the short term, but nearly always fail in the longer - and they can do nothing but react. These VPs are never held accountable to forcing their subordinates to cut corners.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
