      Pros

      The IT infrastructure is give out of the box, you as a software engineer can focus on doing your job without needing to download, install and hack everything yourself. You can always ask your colleagues if you're stuck with something. There are many smart people with various backgrounds whose opinion you can ask for.

      Cons

      Time pressure sometimes eliminates the time to create sophisticated solutions, but this is general with banks - the time to market is key. The time pressure sometimes also becomes visible on project planning - project plans are not updated in a timely manner, meaning confusion with deadlines and available workforce.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
