"Positive/development culture is an excuse for below market pay"
I have been working at Commonwealth Bank of Australia full-time
Pros
- Focused on developing individual attributes - Flexible working - Management very focused on developing team, scouting work and promoting wins
Cons
- Pay has consistently decreased in the past year due to the precedent of other data scientists receiving a lower salary and management trying to save costs - CBA is focused on using the culture as an intangible benefit to justify lower pay than the market - There is absolutely no negotiation in pay
