Pros

Global Financial business experience Decent salary Decent benefits

Cons

This DB location in Cary is like an offshore center within US. It's run and controlled by The management in London and New York who care less for people in Cary. Too much blame game, extremely unprofessional and chaotic work environment. They work you like a dog for not that great money. Very very unrealistic expectation. Too much drama to put up with. Extremely high bureaucracy and micro management. They have an Agile process for every project which is extremely stressful. Multiple meetings. Most of them are a waste of time. Too much of process which can get annoying at times. Most people here do not dress well. Doesn't feel like you're working for a big bank. It has a startup feel to it. Some people come to work in jeans, shorts, flip flops on all days. Even if you have to take a vacation, it's not easy to get out as most projects are regulatory and they have to meet the timelines. Very poor middle management. Instead of pumping your Morale higher, some Managers bring your morale down. The Managers make sure that you don't even have a single minute of free time. I've never seen such a stressful and bad work environment ever in my life. Some people are too rude and direct to work with. This is the worst company that I have ever worked with in my life. NEVER NEVER NEVER join this bank in Cary, NC.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
