Pros

Benefits are very good Easy and normal to work remote Facilities are modern and clean Chance to learn the latest technologies

Cons

Because its a bank, security and auditing are more important than making sure we can backup/restore the computer systems. This is evident in the amount of paperwork needed to get anything done. Often given projects to deliver that are late before the paperwork was started which means everything gets escalated.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
