Pros

Bonus structure is welcomed. Salaries I think are competitive. They do try as best they can with the work life balance but gutting whole departments doesn't help.

Cons

Most departments I know are stretched too thin and as a result, we are not able to think strategically. It is more of the problem of the moment mentality.

Pros

The best thing tha I can think of that could be classified as a "pro" relating to BBVA Compass is that they do deposit your salary in a timely matter most of the time.

Cons

The chain of command reaches from Alabama to Spain. Having Spain approve anything for the Birmingham, AL office takes an outrageous amount of time.

Pros

-Tons of free stuff, bonuses, shuttle to/from house, daily free lunch/dinner, crazy overtime pay (if all 40 hours on Sunday %50 of your monthly salary) -Depending on your department, you can have great experience with recent technologies, and cool languages. -Pretty relaxed if you do your job well, time to time it gets really stressful, but, hey, is there any IT place without some stress? -I had really good co-employees and managers, but heard there are really weird ones out there.

Cons

-Depending on your department, you can have really old technologies, languages, and boring tasks. -They still use mid-90's techs, such as GEN, a millennium old mainframe, and that silly language called Cobol. (Still they use C#) -Location is pretty ugly, terrible neighborhood in Istanbul, hard to reach from most parts. Traffic is a reason to suicide. (Even with a company shuttle) -Working environment is not terrible, but pretty uncomfortable. It can get really warm, and stuffy in any season, plus terrible chairs.
