Pros

Team members are respectful, I think it’s because everyone on the team knows how bad the place is.

Cons

Role is completely different from that I was recruited for. They should have hired an analyst. Company does not promote from within or give raises. Our team goals change at the whim of those above us. No control over even day to day work. Good luck if you’re not familiar with a language or framework, you probably won’t get much help even when it’s a proprietary platform.

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.
