      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits. Some manages allow for flexible work schedules.

      Cons

      Slow to develop and deploy projects. Negative feedback not appreciated. Constantly laying off people as part of downsizing then rehiring those positions almost immediately. Very uncertain and uncomfortable work environment. They tout their work life balance benefits but they are not evenly applied to all employees. Some people can work remotely across the country while others are not allowed to work from home at all. This is not performance based but based on the management philosophy.

      Pros

      Great Pay/Bonus Opportunity in some departments. Great Benefits.

      Cons

      Top heavy with micro managers, no independent thinking is allowed, if you do they looks for ways to end your employment. Required to take laptop home, no work/life balance. Growth potential is not there unless you have been there 10 years, or they take exceptional favor to you. They are quasi government agency, with too much bureaucracy, good place if you are right out of college, or ending your career.

      Pros

      New CIO is very astute and helps drive appropriate dialogue.

      Cons

      Company has multiple starts and stops and new initiatives every year which makes it hard for rank and file to settle and do things right the first time. Sometimes there is a lack of clear roles and responsibilities between the various risk management functions and process owners
