Pros

- My co-workers are / were all hard-working folks that went above and beyond everyday for the company.

Cons

- Things shifted about 4 years ago. In my case, managers were replaced with people that may have been talented but seemed to have never worked with people before. Rude and obnoxious to those that report to them. Manager should not need to yell / berate employees one on one or in public. Should not silently mock (make faces) while employees that are dialed in are speaking. - CEO pushed for open work areas, eliminated WFH, some WFH employees were let go only to have CEO opinion about WFH reversed after lawsuits. - Company policy to rate employees has changed over the years. At one point I was told 'meets expectation' became the new 'exceeds expectations'. More recently managers told they must give some percentage of employees 'below expectation' rating . - Morale low due to constant threat of layoffs

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.
