Pros

Heading in the right direction for IT. Talented people willing to help but you might have a few times because everyone is so busy.

Cons

WAY behind in IT investment. No support from the business. Putting out fires instead of planning for the future for applications. Hard to get even basic things done. Spend time jumping for managers instead of doing work we planned. Still collaborate like it's 1999. Move people around so much that there are no SMEs. Senior management wastes WAY too much pushing woke culture and identity politics instead of running a financial company. They alienate half their employees who support the police instead of criminals and create a hostile work environment if you're not considered one of their PC victims.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
