Culture and environment do not support success

Pros

Provides flexibility in terms of ability to work from home . Depending on who you work for there is flexibility; however, the demands/workload are detrimental to achieving work/life balance.

Cons

The environment is draining and expectations for delivery are unreasonable. The focus continues to be on cost cutting and doing more with less while concurrently trying to transform the bank. The two are not coming together in a way that enables success, instead burnout. Sadly, senior colleagues are motivated by their own desire to advance and not what is best for the organization, but there are many hard working individuals who are just the opposite.

Pros

Decent 401-K, Flexible (in US) with hybrid wfh/in office mix, great team members. OK health benefits. Good bank for the upper 2% of the monied population.

Cons

Salaries not keeping pace with market standards, contributing to morale issues. Not the greatest when selecting tech "upgrades" and not always consulting folks who will be affected by the changes until implementation.
