Pros

- good name - work can be interesting sometimes - good IT online training material and training sessions

Cons

- do not feel IT is being recognized by the bank or the business side (2nd/3rd class citizens) - software used is pretty outdated - maybe because of the regulations coming down now, there are now so many processes/procedures that take up a lot of our time - can get political sometimes - steps for promotion are not clear

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
