If you're a passionate software or infrastructure engineer, just stay away from this place. Not only is there unnecessary process and office politics at every turn, but you have to deal with bully managers and a systemic toxic culture that leaves no room for work/life balance. And as others have mentioned, you will never get a raise at this place, ever. No bonus for you either, while most managers and executives roll into work in their $60k+ cars and have performance incentives in the form of QUARTERLY bonuses.
Engineering is seen as nothing more than overhead and a bottom pyramid servicing department (like is the case with most financial services companies). This means they need you to follow orders, and not ask too many questions. Don't expect to have any freedom at all while writing code, or architecting systems either. They might lead you on to thinking you have control, but you have no authority over projects, yet are expected to be responsible for the outcome. Responsibility and authority are inseparable. This dynamic does inevitably lead to failures, that will hang over your head.
Still feel like you wanna give this company a try and see for yourself? Well, you'll be looking at legacy code and poorly documented systems all day and working on a ton of dead end projects. Hard work will earn you no credibility whatsoever. You'll spend hours stuck in meetings and managers will then wonder why you're still debugging. You will then be asked to work weekends because "things just need to get done around here".
If this is what you want day in and day out, then go for it. They're always hiring Engineers because people keep quitting, so you could very well end up getting an offer fairly quick.
