Pros

Generally pleasant people at the lower levels Hybrid schedule is relatively flexible

Cons

No one takes ownership of anything Many tasks that should be prioritized and ranked for importance are just all labeled "mandatory", making it difficult to determine which tasks should take priority

Pros

Great work flexibility. Room for personal development. Can drive improvement yourself in some circumstances (very management dependent). Reasonable benefits.

Cons

Use of Blueoptimina. Significant silo-isation between teams. The same politics you find in any large company. Alot of consultants, few perm staff. Poor compensation, you have to move teams or leave the bank to get a reasonable salary increase. Tech staff are second class citizens. Treatment from exec level is very condescending, you're a cost centre not a profit centre.
