Pros

Location is incredible with a nice view of the city. Honestly, that's pretty much it. My supervisor was very nice. My coworkers were usually helpful.

Cons

This job has a quicker turnover than Clark Kent changing into Superman in a phone booth. It's all about this company's bottom line while the majority of the employees enjoy their yearly 1% raise. They have an "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mentality, so the creativity and energy needed to drive ideas forward can only be done if you're truly passionate about what you do. Other than managing stress and learning to cover for yourself and nobody else due to lack of communication, none of the technical skills would actually carry forward into an actual accounting position. But, I will say that it's near-impossible to get fired, so job security is incredible.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
