Low salary and next to no bonus & pay rise year-on-year Inept HR preventing sideways movement within the company Increasing love of creating layers of hierarchy reducing job prospects No incentives provided to improve performance given the recession spiel provided in the 3rd/4th Quarter

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
