Pros

The team is full of talented developers, with a wide variety of experience to draw from. You can work from home every so often. They offer training in their technology stack. If you are interested in finance, then the job will grant exposure to many areas. Competitive starting salary for a graduate developer.

Cons

Internal technology is not great. If you want to only work for BoA for the rest of your life, this isn't a problem.

Lots of politics involved in the development and release process.

Communication between international teams leads to a "us vs them" mentality.

TONS of websites are blocked (which is understandable, but it's still a con).

More meetings than development.

Advice to Management

Move away from your internal technology stack and instead choose the right technology for the job. This will attract talented developers, and retention will increase.
