Pros

Big company with a LOT of systems/servers and teams, constantly upgrading to latest technology and hardware. Many people were able to move horizontally.

Cons

As a bank, IT is not the core of its business, therefore development teams have many junior members, with high rotation. Tendency to have teams with duplicated tasks, and managers trying to keep that statu quo, just to have more people within them.

Pros

Great Benefits and colleagues, but poor management here. Some managers are decent, but expectations are extremely high for a very low base pay. Very little to no room for advancement within the company unless management favors you. Metrics and monthly sales quotas are highly stressed, but they do nothing for you in regard to moving up in the company.

Cons

Very low base pay Little to no room for advancement High sales quotas/ little bonus Toxic management Extended hours No OVERTIME PAY
