Pros

BBVA Compass is a great company to work for. They are very flexible with your schedule and have the opportunity to move up quickly if you work hard and show your interest.

Cons

They were always short staffed and would send employees to other branches to cover, even if the branch helping out was short staffed as well instead of just hiring more people.

Pros

- They offer a good salary - They have plenty of teams spread into 4 buildings. If you can't get along with your team, they will relocate you so hard that you'll think you changed companies. - If you're not in a coolgen team, great learning opportunities - They pay for overtime

Cons

- If you're hired as a Coolgen programmer, your skills will be useful for very very few companies around the world. Also, your knowledge about other platforms and general CS will diminish over time. - Word of the boss is law. Even if hundreds of employees dispute a high ranking manager, they won't be able to sway them. - Paying for overtime weaved overtime into company's culture. Project planning is made with the assumption that you'll be staying in the evenings. Sometimes people stay just for the extra cash. - You're kind of expected to work overtime. If you're an efficient person who never needs to work overtime, you'll still look lazy. - They are very, very, resistant to change. It might require a lot of persistence to use some newer technologies in a project. - Some key divisions are understaffed and you get very slow responses. - If you are not a new graduate, They divide your years of experience by half. It makes getting promoted very hard. Also this is a condescending attitude if you ask me.
