Pros

The most International Bank within the Canadian Banking sector. Focus on customers providing high quality service and advice. Commitment to community with strong support from employees.

Cons

Shifting culture is a challenge and people are less committed to the organization. Strategic thinking and execution is being outsourced to consultants.

Pros

Some talented developers and engineers work there Some really great people to work with

Cons

Poor pay compensation compared to other banks for the IT industry Laying off programmers and engineers despite the CEO claiming they can't find enough of them Hiring a large number of contract workers from India Terrible benefits system Pensions are no longer defined, they are now matched contributions only Promotions rarely make sense, and are sometimes completely baffling Despite much internal advertising about work life balance, it simply doesn't exist. I have seen people with children leave because of the poor integration of work life balance available to them. Routine layoffs
