Pros

benefits are great. lots of time off, free software, great work-life balance. Overall a good place to work. One cannot hardly take all of the time off that is accrued annually.

Cons

The pay isnt very good at all. There are plenty of growth/employment opportunities if you are a programmer but not much else otherwise. They group analyst and programmer into the same category but give much more weight to the programmer part of the job than the analyst.

Pros

Very open and purpose driven team is waiting for you if you do the right networking. Your input matters and things will change if you make a good enough case for it. Outsourcing storage and accounts to 3rd parties a major win. Always another rung on the ladder within reach.

Cons

Amoral culture at CIB can get more than a little annoying. Touting green policies but still having all the lights, ac/heat, and coal power of a small town is laughable. Coke and sodexo (read: no free food/pseudo-evil contributions). Dog and pony committees and busy work all too common.
