Pros

Compensation, state of the art tools, cafeteria food. Getting to the 20 word minimum for this posting has proven difficult. There is no more to say.

Cons

What you have to give up in return for compensation. Extraordinary performance is considered the norm and a bell curve is pushed, regardless of performance. Interaction is not based on doing the right thing, it is based on whether that person will give you good 360 feedback. Lip service is paid to culture and values.

Pros

benefits are good and on par with marketplace physical workplace environment is very good salary compensation if coming from outside is comparable or above market however, once you are inside the compensation process is extremely slow and does not keep pace coworkers are among some of the best people

Cons

performance management process leaves much to be desired little chance for promotion unless have management support favors youthful go getters willing to work long hours (60-100 plus hrs per week) can "try" next level role without pay or title change 6-18 months and still not get promotion if management does not agree or they eliminate role/department work life balance doesn't truly exist below management level open culture only works if you agree; woe to those who question you'll find yourself moved out

Pros

Great tech environment compared to other banks. 100% on the cloud.

Cons

WLB has gone down hill recently, with mandatory PIP quotas making the working environment more hostile than before.
