Pros

Good work life balance, flexible work schedule, vacation days, and benefits

Cons

Almost no career opportunities, non-existent training, terrible technology infrastructure, and overly bureaucratic. The fact that there is actually a committee to oversee other committees that set internal policies kind of says it all. Unimaginative senior management that is always reacting to competition. Bloated middle management while underinvesting in products, services, and line employees that actually drive revenues.

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.
