Pros
-Hardworking colleagues -Largely supportive group throughout company -Community service-oriented -Modern open-space work environment to promote interaction and idea exchange with colleagues -Department tried to promote transparency, especially as the reorganization was intensifying
Cons
-Not exactly a con (and this is only an individual viewpoint), but due to regulated nature of business, seems to require certain temperament to enjoy the work. -Co. somewhat unsettled; was in process of restructuring while I was there; however, I understood from others that there would be periodic reorganizations/layoffs before I arrived (not sure whether due to the economy and/or nature of this bank.) -Modern open-space work environment could also be a detraction, if one is not used to the surrounding noise
