Pros

Nice people, good work life balance at times. Onsite medical facility.

Cons

This company has meetings among meetings going on and on about retaining talent, mean while they just did a major lay off on their top performers. They said it was due to budget cuts but its crazy to me how they kept people who don't know their behind from their heads. They kept people with low performance who are lazy and insufficient. They did the opposite of what they have been preaching each month on these 90 minute boring meetings. I would want to keep top talent if I'm competing with other banks. Horrible leadership and gudieness. I'm looking to leave as this place is failing in many areas.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
