Pros

Really good benefits and plenty of vacation that they basically require you to use. Health insurance is decent. The tech stack isn't bad, but a lot can be outdated quickly. Salary is about mid-level. They will try to lowball you, but if you initially ask for higher, they will most likely honor it. It does feel like a tech company within a bank, for sure.

Cons

Lots of red tape. Not really agile or DevOps, though they claim that they are. The business users are not good at their jobs, and tech has to basically do their jobs as well. You will be overworked, especially during COVID-19.

Advice to Management

Ops users need to be able to understand technology in order to properly work with developers. Applications are not created by a push of a button. Work-life balance is important in any industry, but technology seems to forget that.
