Pros

Work life balance and bonuses are not bad.

Cons

- Very much a white boy club and a nest for misogyny and underhanded racism. - The only way to get a promotion is to suck up to management and back stab everyone around you. - Lying about the progress and the real state of things which has led to disappointed clients time after time. - Lack of vision and direction. Products and years of development are put in the back burner every time a there's a management change. - All the talented people that made this place bearable have moved on to other companies especially in 2021. - Companies are moving to Agile and strong devops strategy, this company is going backwards to waterfall...

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.
