Pros

Good work-life balance.

Most people are smart.

Attempting to change tech culture.

Cons

Tech workers still viewed as costs rather than investments.

A few years late on everything, and trying to be modern. Looking at you, agile and Windows 10.

Red tape. Super hard to do anything innovative.

Tries really hard to say they are a bank, and that's why they can't offer the benefits of other tech companies.

Advice to Management

Invest more in employees. Act like a leader in the fintech space, like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, not follow what the bottom-tier banks are doing.
