Pros

Benefits are very good Easy and normal to work remote Facilities are modern and clean Chance to learn the latest technologies

Cons

Because its a bank, security and auditing are more important than making sure we can backup/restore the computer systems. This is evident in the amount of paperwork needed to get anything done. Often given projects to deliver that are late before the paperwork was started which means everything gets escalated.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
