Pros

They let some of us work from home

Cons

The new benefits are absolutely horrible. They do not cover any RX until you deductible is met. The give .10 cent raises, they do everything on paper, not electronically. They are basically back in the stone ages. Not worth your time! Bring back BOTW, at least we could afford our children's medicine!

Pros

Large bank comes with security but also with it's own share of politics. Also, most major departments have a US vs. Canada is split within their organization hierarchy at various levels. And the US heads almost always report up to a Canadian. Other than job security, little pros for someone looking to grow their career beyond just the limited scope of US teams.

Cons

BMO is truly a Canadian bank and as such wages are significantly lower than even peer US banks in LCOL areas. BMO's salary ranges for CA are some of the lowest I have ever seen. US Banks based in IL, TX have higher salaries for the same job level than what BMO does in CA. BMO may have recently entered west coast markets but it's going to have quite a bit of learning to do if they want to use the location to their advantage to attract top talent, especially on the technology side. With the pay bands they have there is no way they can hire anyone other than remote workers living in very LCOL areas. Even an entry level engineer in the bay area probably earns more than what BMO is willing to pay their managers.
