Pros

Great technical environment with a strong focus on modern Java development. The teams are highly collaborative, and there are solid opportunities to take ownership of complex, enterprise-level banking applications. Work-life balance is generally respected depending on the project team.

Cons

Bureaucracy and legacy processes can occasionally slow down development cycles and project delivery. Navigating the matrix structure of a large financial institution sometimes requires extra layers of approval for tool adoption and architectural shifts.
