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.

Mostly behavioral questions and just asked about my resume. The interview felt conversational, but I hear they ask some data structure questions or other tech-focused questions now. They aren't LeetCode style, however.
It was not hard at all, and people were willing to help me out with anything. They were very supportive, maybe because it was during a tech conference. It was a very encouraging interview.
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.
