Pros

Good work-life balance. Nothing feels like life-or-death, and nobody ever needs 100% commitment from you. Weekends are free, I rarely (if ever) have to work more than 40-45 hours a week. Lots of PTO, and very strong job security. Layoffs are extremely rare and getting fired takes some real work.

Cons

The work is slow, and often frustrating. It's a large, fintech company, so lots of red tape and corporate stuff to deal with. Pay is not very competitive. If you want to get a decent pay raise (even when promoted) you have to threaten to leave, or actually leave for them to compensate you what you deserve.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
