Pros

You work with the latest tech stacks. There is a company wide initiative to upgrade the entire infrastructure to the latest technologies. Amazing benefits.

Cons

There is a strong lack of diversity in the company. There is also a strong lack of work/life balance during the remote era, but while in-person, it was absolutely fine. Biggest complaint is how bad the software support/IT is structured. It can be weeks to get approval or permission for anything.

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.
