Pros

- great teammates - feel as if my job is safe in current area to any downsizing - my team does work on latest technology like AWS (we were first in our unit to implement AWS) - never short of work on my team - recently my area has implemented a 9 day 80 hour schedule so i get every other friday off and its amazing

Cons

- business drives everything and decides what priorities are which is not an ideal model because we fall way behind on maintenance work - tech leading can be a death sentence to your technology growth unless you do something to control it. I have struggled to get my hand in the code because i am too busy with meetings or assisting my team on items - meetings... meetings.... meetings... oh right after lunch... meetings

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.
