Pros

My experience is in the corporate IT and technology side of the bank. U.S. Bank has a more centralized and cohesive enterprise architecture than other banks their size or larger in the US, and they have an extremely conservative attitude towards risk. This provides good experience for anyone who wants to understand working on large enterprise-scope systems and dealing with extreme demands for tracability and quality.

Cons

They do not pay software and technology workers as well as other employers in their markets (mostly Milwaukee WI, Minneapolis-St. Paul MN, and Portland OR). The work environment is very rigid in terms of processes and procedures, and many people may not like the administrative tasks and paperwork required. The culture penalizes people for taking chances.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
