Pros

There is a good work/life balance here. It's great if you're furthering your education, or have kids, etc. and need a more flexible work schedule. The 401k plan isn't too bad either.

Cons

The compensation is well under market rate. The bonus is a joke. It used to be a good place to work just because your job was almost "guaranteed" but now that they're now very actively outsourcing whole and parts of departments to cheaper cities in the US & overseas, there really is not much benefit to working here. The focus is ONLY on client service to the exclusion of the employee. If your job can be done cheaper anywhere else in the world, your time at this company is limited .

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.
