Pros

I was in a smaller team, so it was excellent collaboration environment. There are ALOT of opportunities, as long you go looking for it. I got to interact directly with the director for the team, and had the chance of doing presentations to one of the SVP. The office was casual and people was friendly. There were casual Mondays and Fridays, and I could approach anyone in the office for questions. I was in the Data Center though, so it was more casual than normal banking institutions.

Cons

One of the downside would be the number of levels and bureaucracy, it is hard to avoid with any financial institutions. Any major decisions needs to move up the ladder, then come back down. It gets tedious and takes much longer, but it comes with any large institutions

Pros

Great support for employees in terms of benefits and the ability to progress (given you have the education) Scotiabank pushes you to work hard in a positive way and they look out for those employees that do the extra and push them forward in the company.

Cons

Can be difficult to balance a workplace and private life the further you move up in the company. Can be difficult to progress in the company now if you don't have the education, and personal skills whereas previously the longer you worked the further you would progress in the company.
