Pros

I think the management on my current team has been terrific and transparent especially in the times of COVID.

Cons

Anyone that is not in your daily team seems to dodge questions regularly. When my offer was given I was happy, but then HR came back and then told me it was significantly less after already giving out the offer. I like working here, but I just wish 10 hour days were not the regular due to the amount of meetings and documentation, but instead actually producing software and having test data easily accessible. I have been getting enticing offers recently from technology companies, that seem more competitive and less bureaucracy but I really don't want to leave what I helped build.

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.
