Pros

The corporate culture of the bank is a joke. If you have half a brain and are willing to stay in the same department for years, there's a good chance you can become a VP.

Cons

Pay is horrible. Management is horrible. The entire place is a joke when it comes to working in Finance. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
