Pros

Direct managers cared and backed you up if you were right Coworkers helpful and worked well together Vacation time was plentiful even for the lower grades

Cons

Change controls and procedures often bypassed based on political pull within the organization. Project managers do not plan projects very well. Key issues discovered during execution phase and not during planning. Core upgrade not going as well as press releases claim. Bank has layoffs about every October and chooses to lay off those with long years and not those who underperform. bank technology follows no strict standard

Pros

Banking applications software knowledge. Experience about IBM mainframes and its related products. Java like languages for client applications. PLI for host side applications. Cool Gen for desktop applications.

Cons

There are no accurate development plan but a lot of upper level pressure to deploy products. It is ok to deploy with some bugs. It is a corporate culture to deploy products without full test. Instead, collecting but reports from customers and fixing bugs are acceptable. This kind of working environment is very boring and it is very possible to be selected as responsible of all failure as a developer.

Pros

They helped me to develop my talent with on-line courses and an executive Master's. The content was good enough. They also allowed me to develop professionally in the direction that I wanted. They challenged me as much as I wanted.

Cons

They are too political and they do not give enough freedom to develop one's ideas.
