Pros

At an enterprise-level, excellent firm to work for. Good benefits, flex hours & location, ESOP, vacation days & policy, and employee training programs. BMO encourages their employees in giving back to our local communities via United Way Fundraising campaigns, volunteer days, and food/ winter clothing drives. If you're a grade 7 or higher, there is much room to move up or out into other verticals. Business (P&C, PCG, Capital Markets, and Corporate verticals are typically the best areas to work in... more funding and career growth. Great employees found in many pockets across the company. Excellent learning portal for employees.

Cons

Do not assume just because the above is corporate policy that it will be enforced at the individual business unit level. If you are saddled with a business unit focused manager, you may not be approved for education training (even the basics), volunteer days or a personal day. Its up to the individual manager's discretion. Same applies to the flexible location and accomodations policy. If you are a grade 6, be prepared to remain as such for the long haul. Promotions are rare in Technology & Operations. Quality does not always reign supreme on project sponsors list; expect cost & duration to be primary leaders. BMO work experience is ranked higher when it comes to pay grade than this experience + prior work experience.
