Pros

I can't really think of any good reasons to work here. I worked as a temp employee and was let go under questionable circumstances. Perhaps if one obtains a higher level position with solid prospects for upward mobility Bank of Tokyo would be a good option.

Cons

The people I worked under directly were not particularly competent. I had very little interaction with management. I felt that my skills and abilities were undervalued. The Senior Management didn't even know my name, or bother to ask.

Pros

Decent Pay, great benefits with pension plan, good PTO and Sick Days, some very talented peers

Cons

Upper management making decisions without actual technical input from SMEs, lack of transparency, mandating expectations that are very difficult to meet due to a process culture that hides behind documentation, some peers not working their weight or making an effort to be productive, back to the office hybrid work for certain people that actually benefit more to the company being remote. No employee voice.

Pros

-Before Covid there was a decent work life balance to take work home; post-Covid the firm embraces work from home to save on real estate costs and attract a wider talent pool. It’s almost employee choice now to pick remote or hybrid. -Benefits are competitive with a healthy cash balance pension (starts at 4% of salary) and 401k match (4%) and health plan provides affordable and coverage is pretty good too. -Bank is good for someone already established and experienced in their career. The company really needs them so these folks can really set their job terms, desired salary, work preferences, etc.

Cons

-Lack of Long-term Planning, Inadequate Resources, Inadequate Staffing, Aggressive or Unrealistic Goal Setting, Reactive Management Culture, Inconsistency between Departments and Policies. -The company throws people, money, resources at a problem without a thorough plan which leads to constant and never-ending changes. I witnessed this through 5 years of services in 3 Lines of Businesses. They do a poor job of retaining, developing, and grooming personnel. Training is non-existent even for long-term employees let alone new employees. I’ve watched many new people leave after a few months to a year. There is high attrition for anyone under 2 years of service. -Employee engagement and employee recognition is atrocious. promotional opportunity is non-existent for anyone looking for merit-based opportunity. You have to be a crony, suck-up, or be really really lucky to get promoted. -Post sale of the Consumer Bank (UnionBank) to US Bank, there will be a much smaller company with much less opportunity for those seeking it. -Bank is not a great place to start a career, get broader experience, or come to get promoted. It’s very very transactional and may be okay if you need steady employment/pay and just a “job.”
