Pros

Good location no worries about traffic. Lots of cool people if you can wade through the fearfully paralyzed naysayers.

Cons

Where to start. The place for the most part already had poor abusive supervisors but with company addition of "A Better Way" the supervisors are unbearable. "better way" is a creepy manipulative practice that's preaches intense cult like behavior and makes it impossible to reach goals due to the fact that once you reach them they hang the carrot out further. No matter how well your efficiency and accuracy you will never be more than mediocre on paper...therefore no raises and also makes it difficult to move into other departments because you can not separate yourself from the pact. You'll need help from people in those departments to vouch for you in order to move. I recently left due to bullying and humiliation by my emasculating supervisor. The place claims that they want to be a technology leader in the industry but it's really just placing band-aids over their inefficiencies to mask it from investors and outside talent. Example is their hiring board. Claimed to be new and improved. When you find a position click apply it just sends you right back to the old job website where you would then apply for the job. Also if you applied you can see these ridiculous criteria and "competency" ratings or suggestions. Job descriptions are even more vague than they ever were and the place pays very little and attempts to treat you like children by offering cookies found in a dusty closet for compensation or for "employee appreciation week".

Pros

Compared with similarly sized institutions, PNC offers decent work-life balance. But it all depends on who your manager is. People are generally very helpful and always willing to answer questions. For the most part, I enjoyed my time there.

Cons

Compensation is frequently ranked among the bottom percentile in the industry, and this was no exception for myself. They do not take into account the cost of living of a certain area when you are in their analyst program. For example, someone in Nashville would have to the same compensation as someone with the same position in San Francisco. During my time there, it definitely felt very “laissez faire”. Communication among deal team members was also a bit unpolished, with juniors frequently having to play catch up. The bureaucracy and level of siloing between lines of business is awful. It slows down deal execution and overall efficiency.
