Process
It started smoothly initially. They asked about me, my interests, and my education qualifications. Later on, they went technical. I answered almost all the questions patiently.

Challenging job with good work-life balance
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Plano, Texas, United States
April 12, 2020
Pros: - Technically more challenging than other banks in the area.
- Management acts on at least some of the survey suggestions.
- Emphasis on moving legacy systems to the cloud (mainly AWS).
- Time is given every Friday to pursue learning and other interests.
- PCP doctor on campus, nice health benefits.
- 3% 401k match even if you don't contribute anything.
Cons: - Salary for senior engineers could be higher.
- Most employees have a bad opinion of stack ranking.
- Every technical decision needs to be vetted by a central team of architects even before one line of code is written. This adds needless delays.
- Management tries too hard to make employees feel as if they are part of a noble mission. Though the company is better than its peers, the constant emphasis on mission becomes distracting.

Company with good culture and okay tech
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
September 16, 2020
Pros: Great culture and work-life balance. People really care about each other and are willing to help out, whether it's in problem-solving or mentorship.
Cons: You work with a lot of legacy code. This slows down development, even if you're building a new system, since it'll inevitably depend on a legacy system.
Legacy code also requires a lot of maintenance to keep it compliant with the never-ending cyber mandates. So a lot of dev time is spent working on cyber stories instead of development.
