Pros

Great benefits: Health, Dental, & Vision plans. Pre tax health flex spending, metrocard, & child care deductions. Full 401K match up to 6% Managers are good with work/life balance (at least in my group). Not too much work to be done. Very simple jobs. Mostly friendly coworkers & good atmosphere.

Cons

Advances are almost impossible because the managers are very "clicky" & if you aren't part of the "click", you do not get noticed - no matter the job you do. Very low salary in relation to other companies. Very low increase in pay. (0% in 2009, 2$ in 2010 on average). The work can be very boring with long days...

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.
