Bank of America

Good pay. Ability to work from home on occasion. Great downtown location. Co-workers are open to new ideas.

The bank employs a very large number of H-1B visa holders. You will be working with an entire team and treated like a second-class citizen.

Junior developers are hired and put into senior-level positions to architect and develop IT applications, resulting in poor quality of code and high maintenance costs.

Consultants are hired to train lower-level developers but are not directly assigned to working on the architecture and/or developing applications. Instead, you are supporting H-1B teams and are given trivial tasks.

Cost cutting should not be at the application architecture level. Hire skilled, senior-level developers for architecture instead.
