Pros

There are many opportunities to grow at the bank. If you work hard you will be rewarded. They offer many perks that if you take advantage of you will create a nice cushion for yourself. You are however overworked and underpaid ONCE YOUR HIRED. The best thing is to get as high a starting salary as you possibly can because the raises and increases for taking on more responsabilities are minimal at best and it is like pulling teeth to get any additional compensation so you are basically stuck with 2-3% a year increases (yes, that is considered a "GREAT" review/raise!!)

Cons

It is not a long term place of employment. They are not concerned with retention and will not match competitive offers even if you are paid well under market. I have seen many managers leave for that reason alone.

Pros

Very flexible positions. Can manage your own time with work. Great place to start your career in banking and learn a lot of different things at once. It's a place of who you know and little of what you know. But if you can build great internal relationships and do a great job at what you do, you'll certainly see advancement. It's a very well known bank which makes it easy when introducing yourself to someone. Altogether its a very nice place to work, good benefits but a little soft on the pay and there logic of how they determine pay grades.

Cons

No clear direction for advancing within the company. If your someone who is looking for a nice career but maybe doesn't have a high level of ambition, you may be lost. You need to be aggressive, know the right people and do a nice job to get anywhere. I don't think the average guy who does his job well goes very far. They will take advantage of that. You'll need to speak up and ask for what you want, probably have to fight for it or it won't come. In some cases you feel like you have to leave and come back to get what you want.

Pros

Challenging work in terms on new technology and timeline for projects is pretty flexible. The project managers understand the business needs very well. Some of the documentation in place is good so is the infrastructure for software development and softwares they use The only thing missing from software development prespective is that they do not have any usability team, they need to have one. This will save so much time at bank with all the CSR as well as call center people. If they are able to minimize the number of clicks needed to perform certain task it will be great.

Cons

Work culture and some of the processes required for proper development are not in place. For some reason there is always a shortage or resources. The co-ordination with off-shore teams is not that good and more work could be done in house in less time.
