Pros

Bank is flexible and very good to employees and there are lots of strong engineers

Cons

Management always shifting priorities and poor communication. Most projects I work on become unimportant as focus shifts. Company reinvents a lot of wheels and duplicates efforts. Too much process and restriction around things like simply deploying software or accessing a database

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
