Pros
  • Good benefits
  • Decent work/life balance
Cons
  • Engineering culture needs serious improvement. There is little emphasis on testing, code quality, or adopting modern standards.

  • Proprietary internal tools/frameworks are far behind open source alternatives.

  • Disconnect between Senior Management and engineers who have to use the proprietary software Bank of America creates.

  • Red tape and general bureaucracy prevent things from getting done.

Advice to Management

Please listen to engineers' concerns and reconsider the disappointing work-from-office policy.

Employees were never asked about their work-from-office preferences. Saying that "we're a technology company" but we're also a "work-from-office company" makes absolutely no sense.
