Pros

Competent people, can do attitude. Smaller organization.

Cons

New CEO trying to make his mark in a firm with an autocratic Billionare majority share owner. It's an oil bank willing to do anything to break the bank mold by transforming into an integrated financial service delivery provider come Hell or high water. BOKF wants to grow and compete against larger competitors yet skimps on technology and platforms that those same competitors adopted decades ago. Far too commonly the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing which leads in confusing often contradictory policies. Which could be a result of management paying too much attention to their spreadsheets while trying to advance their careers instead of focusing on their market and people who service the clients.

Pros

Relatively relaxed coworkers, however this is mostly because the talent pool at this company is pretty mediocre.

Cons

None of your coworkers will be particularly impressive people. Management has way too much red tape to let you actually accomplish anything, and they will outright lie to you if it benefits them.
