Pros

*Flexibility in schedule *Good location for those outside city *Office reno made office look good, young, hip, modern...but that is a facade to clients and trying to catch eye of younger workforce.

Cons

*Managers don't know how to manage people or process.  *Lack of process.  There is and has been very little in the way of process and communication across or within groups in the company. *Old infrastructure that is not dynamic...making for a clunky base.   *Review process.  Managers rate on quota system.  *Management communication is very poor. *Education.  There is minimal to no relevant training. Training for new technologies is non existant. *I've seen lateral moves but in my time here, and I've been here a while at this point, I realized recently I've never seen any upward moves. A go nowhere company *Managers are leave for 2 hr lunches and return loud and drink in offices on Friday's laughing, swearing and acting like frat boys of an undiverse fraternity.

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.
