Pros

Pretty good work/life balance - longer sprint cycles mean it's not hard to deliver on requirements.

Cons

They are not a tech firm. It's the technology arm of a slow-moving, bureaucratic finance firm. Not embracing WFH - very strong years with whole staff WFH, but now are pushing for 3 days and eventually full week back in office. Lots of my team is leaving because of it.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
