Pros

Nothing really, because their big positive was erased by a bigger negative. They were one of the first banks to open rehiring during the Great Recession of 2008-2009. However, they were the first to aggressively lay some great people off because they weren't bloodthirsty goblins like the people they keep in their semiannual reductions in force.

Cons

Recent reviews about stack ranking and bully managers are spot on. This is a horrible company run by a cast of characters that would be at home on Goodfellas or The Godfather. Terrible!

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
