Pros

The pay and bonuses (if you got one) were good. I loved working with the people. The business outlook for the product was good.

Cons

The big bank processes are getting in the way of working effectively on the software product. Old-school management thinking. Typical big-company culture. Horrible tooling for software development.

Advice to Management

Run the software teams using a software mindset and a software management style.
