Pros

Great pay, good work/life balance, nice employee perks (typical of any large bank), internal mobility works well if you are a good networker

Cons

Poor leadership - I've had 5 bosses in 2 years, none of whom helped me develop my career, which was incredibly disappointing. The company is constantly restructuring and has high turnover so it's difficult to feel like part of a "family" here. Also very siloed org / difficult to be innovative (although we claim that we are)

Pros

Some of the internal platforms have dev teams that would rival any other tech company. Can learn a lot if you end up on one of those teams.

Cons

Completely crap shoot as to if you land on a good team or a completely incompetent one. If you're on a bad one good luck. On a bad team you can expect vague work requirements and huge work loads with unmanageable delivery timelines. Also they're outsourcing to India heavily. Also also, most senior management is completely out of touch with reality and don't understand the tech stack they own (more you interact with them the more frighteningly obvious it becomes). HR is completely incompetent, of course, it's an open secret at the bank.
