Pros

The salary/benefits are pretty good given that it's a mid-level job (5-7 years of experience). They offer some folks a remote work option which is nice to see as other banks have quit doing that.

Cons

The HR process there is a disaster. After receiving an offer, I had to call the recruiter multiple times over a 4 week period asking where the offer documents were. Onboarding is another disaster. I spent the first two weeks without an email address...which is bizarre to me. I spent the first one month without Microsoft Teams. I then spent 3 months begging almost 10-15 diff IT admins for access to datasets and software. There were a few people on the team I directly worked with that gave off the attitude of "stop asking questions, just go do what I tell you to do" which is pretty demoralizing for new hires.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
