Pros

The Management Development Program is great if you want to work in banking. They are really there to help you and will try to find a position you like in order to retain you.

Cons

The M&T culture is very mundane and the work for MDPs is very monotonous. It is a chain of command and the MDP is at the bottom so my advice is don't offer your opinion unless you are asked.

Pros

The team members were generally supportive, and the role offered exposure to probate and estate administration. It can be a starting point for gaining experience in a specialized area of banking.

Cons

Many of the advertised benefits of the role did not align with the day-to-day reality. Opportunities for growth, training, and process improvement were limited, and the workload often felt driven by volume rather than quality. Communication and expectations could be inconsistent, making it difficult to feel supported or set up for long-term success.
