Pros

There are some good people to work with at this company in Digital. The team in Seattle is filled with experienced people.

In my situation, I am enabled to work autonomously at my own pace, and I have input on my assignments. This will depend on your manager.

Very stable employer from a financial standpoint.

Cons

This place does not operate like a technology company. Management is very much top-down in a typical bank, large corporate institution setting.

Most of the managers are extremely risk-averse; they would rather leave a problem unsolved than risk breaking something.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees better. Promote people who actually have technical ability instead of "yes men".
