Pros

They pay well and the benefits are good. That’s the only reason people stay

Cons

No strategy, no customer focus, hideous leadership team full of clueless non digital natives. Everyone is backstabbing. Major politics. CULTURE IS TOXIC

Pros

good project work and domain. Multiple learning platforms available like coursera,linkedin learning etc

Cons

Dirty politics at its height. Your relationship with manager is given more weightage than your performance during performance appraisals. Not a good place for people who want to perform and grow. Worst part is during tough times, performers are asked to leave instead of non-performers (if manager's favourite)

Pros

Generous 401k match, ability to work from home.

Cons

Strategic roles increase responsibility faster than the pay or job title does. Layoffs happen too often for a bank that is supposedly focused on growth. Above average performers sacrifice a lot of work-life balance. Not all people managers are trained to manage people. Extremely limited career opportunities in Buffalo.
