Pros

Nice benefits. Nice amenities if you're at the home office. Move up fast (if you can BS / kiss up / present other peoples work as your own / your boss is your friend/ you know how to use contractors as stepping stones)

Cons

Politics and more Politics New ideas are not readily accepted Contractors are not treated fairly. Pay-increase/raises are hard to come by. Upper management has the correct idea and strategy however the lower management struggles to implement People getting promoted who shouldn't I could go on all day You can come up with an innovative idea that saves/generates millions of dollars and you can walk away with just a pat on a back ..if you're really good maybe a couple of thousand dollars after conversion.

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.
