Well-known company.
Stable compared to other financial companies in the industry.
Flexible.
I've worked there for 10 years on the technology side in various lines of businesses (Consumer, GCIB).
Similar to most companies, there is a lot of internal infighting, politics, and process that makes it hard to get things done.
A major problem is the way projects are funded and staffed, where every group bills another group like a consulting company.
It's all rather silly and makes it very expensive for projects to get funded.
Anyways, in my years at the bank, the technology side is in the worst shape I've ever seen it.
Communication is often in the form of blast emails and communications. There is so much "communication" it is really just spam.
It helps a lot to have a manager or senior manager that is well respected as well.
I do believe the business side is run much better.

First round interview was a general get-to-know-you. I was given a take-home project to create an ETL pipeline. I chose not to move forward with my application due to another job offer.
It was pretty easy and straightforward. Two phone calls back to back. Behavioral with some technical questions based on your resume. I joined as an intern and converted to a full-time role.
I have one hour on-site interview. Twenty minutes to go through the resume. Twenty minutes for back-end questions. Twenty minutes for front-end questions. Interviewers are all very nice.
