A good experience, but the merger gave me gray hairs

Pros

Decent culture. The snakes were pretty systematically weeded out. "No sharp elbows" is true. Multicultural without being annoying about it. Most people who left did so because they retired. A good sign.

Cons

So big. So much work to do. The positions can swallow you alive. Poor coaching, no formal mentoring program at least where I was. The Wachovia merger was many 65-hour weeks. I hear it's back to more like normal now.

Advice to Management

The place could really use something like Lean or Six Sigma, advocated well and committed to from the top.
