Pros

Still has remote work for some roles

Cons

Absolute disaster of a company to work for. Do not work here. The culture is a mess, having a mix of a small regional conservative bank (FCB), mashed up with move fast, break things bank (Silicon Valley). SVB imploded, yet nearly everyone was kept on, so it's the massive culture struggle. Additionally, turnover is insane in some areas (like 50% in <12 months) because people come in, figure out it's a mess and jump ship. Leadership at many levels are being brought in from other failing/bad banks in 'stretch roles' that they have no business being in. Default mode of dealing with things is, "It's not my fault, talk to another team" or "That's not true, stick it under the rug." I've never worked at a place that is such a mess and just keeps getting worse by the day.
