Pros

+ You can find free food on campus if you look + You can wear whatever you want + Benefits are pretty good

Cons

+ Company doesn't understand agile or how to utilize it. This will leave you frustrated and could potentially jade you. + Company will underpay you for your work - your work isn't valued or paid for by anyone with real power + If you're good at your job, you will be overloaded and not compensated (see above) + Depending on LOB, you could have a good role or you could hate your job. + Job description and expectations are not aligned - you will be frustrated. + This is a bank - this is not a tech company. Expect to be treated as a peon who must say yes or be outcast by those who do your performance.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
