      I have been working at Bank of America full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Many projects, career advancement, culture of valuing employees. Annual raises and semi-annual performance reviews. Professional atmosphere, good colleagues. Very generous family leave.

      Cons

      Corporate culture and red tape. If you get on a bad project you can end up working long hours with difficult deadlines. It all depends on which team you are on. Once you have been there for a while you can speak up and transfer to different teams.

      Advice to Management

      Continue to offer flexibility to working parents, including telecommuting and generous family leave. Try to cut the red tape on projects a bit to make it easier to accomplish things faster.

      I have been working at Bank of America as an intern (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I had a great manager and mentor who both made sure that I got the most out of my internship with relative projects. The work culture at the office is very respectful, and I was fortunate to work with a team that had great synergy with each other. Work and life balance is also excellent -- I hardly had to stay overtime to get something done.

      Cons

      Not all teams are like this from what I've heard. The cubicle set-up is also a little depressing.

      Pros

      Good equipment, good marketecture. Disappointing. The place , the work slides downward.

      Cons

      Agree about diversity issue. Despite announced plans to limit H1B’s this seems to be a marketing plan only. At a Xmas party with a 100people, perhaps 10 were not H1B ‘S.

      Advice to Management

      How are you going to balance the cheap salaries and the work load.

      Pros

      Good work culture, decent salary and benefits. Some training provided.

      Cons

      Technology is being revamped. Any one joining the legacy groups is in danger of getting terminated. A lot of Technology work is being outsourced. You have to work with staff that are not BoFA employees - this creates some friction as they are under a different payscale and different work culture

      Advice to Management

      Hire more U.S based quality employeed. Do not look to cut costs with outsourced companies
