Pros

- Hire talented people - Invest in user experience (researchers, designers, content, developers) - Not a big bank yet - 4% company match on 401K - Health insurance is reasonably priced and fairly comprehensive

Cons

- Low compensation - 2% raises (you make less every year with inflation) - Employees don't stay - Few oportunities to advance - No continuing education budget for conferences or speakers (online only) - Recently adopted "agile" methods for product development, but U.S. Bank does not know how to effectively implement. Unfortunately, instead of making incremental changes to products, entire features are created very quickly. This results in poor quality products that customers don't need or have a difficult time using. - Executives decide which features we should build without doing the research to understand what our customers truly want and need. It's more of a "Bank of America created this feature, so we should too" mentality. - Lack of innovation - Lack of "big picture" considerations and how teams and products are related. - Frequent duplication of efforts and redesigns of existing features

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
