Pros

1) Market or above-market level compensation for most roles. 2) Standard market quality benefit package including health, dental, 401k, PTO, etc. 3) Clear performance evaluation process and yearly goals. 4) Town hall meetings and 1:1 "skip" level meetings occur regularly as they are part of company policy. 5) Most non-customer facing teams are remote which allows for a high degree of flexibility and work life balance.

Cons

1) Growth-minded bank means that there are constant mergers and acquisitions meaning timelines and projects can be modified on the fly. 2) Sometimes temporary needs get prioritized even if they mean additional risk or re-work when implementing a longer-term vision/plan.

Pros

I did not have a positive experience at all. No pros.

Cons

I would not recommend working for First Citizens Bank to anyone, especially recent college graduates. The pay is EXTREMELY low compared to other offers from similar companies. The job and overall work environment are boring, and the company is still operating itself like a bank in the old days. Save yourself time and do not apply here.

Too much change happening with all the mergers, resource allocation is inefficient.
