Pros

New hires are generally well paid and given opportunities to establish themselves. Support for training and professional development is also generally high. The bank is also frequently investigating or implementing new systems to bolster it's mortgage and lending platforms.

Cons

At times management and it's actions completely disconnect from reality in the IT department. IT makes solving problems long term very difficult. I can't speak for banking. The new management seems to be aligning the banking and lending arms with the needs of small businesses and mortgage consumers well.

Pros

Good Compensation Decent Benefits Work-Life Balance is good

Cons

Clueless Management Only people belonging to the 'inner circle' have their ideas heard distrust between groups is encouraged by management morale is rock bottom 7.5 hour workday that is boasted by HR is a complete joke to salaried staff Salaried people have to badge in and out with the hourly people but aren't paid overtime. Instead, it is used as a barometer of who is dedicated and who isn't Expectation that you are available for monthly builds on weekends but aren't givent any comp time for it

Pros

In IT, you can do whatever you wish, as the only standard practice is to make up your own personal standards.

Cons

Regarding IT software development management: none are competent, all are wishy-washy and unwilling to take a stand on anything, especially development standards. None are qualified for the job and would be better off doing another type of work: your best doers are not generally your best managers. New management is totally ineffective: they added another layer without ousting any of the managers that are holding the company back. This is especially true in IT and loss mitigation.
