Pros

Upper management was very intuitive in making the necessary changes to turn the bank around. Was given a lot of independence to complete my own tasks without my boss breathing over my shoulder and within a couple of months my responsibilities doubled.

Cons

Hard to break in as people from other teams aren't welcoming to inexperienced hires. There was a lot of redundancies being made while I was there.
