Pros

Friendly coworkers who care and put up with an awful lot while only occasionally exploding in frustration.

Cons

European management is hyper political and seemingly duplicitous. New York culture disregards proper software engineering. Lots of red tape. Difficult to navigate. Politics and turf wars. Tactical noise. All true design and authority is in NY and London, but they will try to hide this when you are first hired. (I've worked elsewhere and the politics and deceit at DB was the worst)

Pros

It's situated in calm and peaceful Cary, NC Bonus ( If you are are good in internal bureaucracy and manage to get it!)

Cons

In over 15 years of my IT career I have never seen such bad work atmosphere with so much panic and work pressure from chain of managers over you. Everybody is president , vice presidents and managers.. too less people who really work.. so of course work pressure... That's what managers are for right? Make tech slave labor work. or how else managers will get big bonuses? Their new policy is to lure tech guys from other countries or other states to leave their good jobs dreaming big bonuses and peaceful life , come to this remote location of Cary...then make them work like slaves. Hire one senior tech guy and then hire four beginners so that this experienced guy will actually teach the beginners everything and even DO their job... as they are "no-vice".. so make sure you are not that "experienced guy" This is not a bank. It's a bank's IT development center. So basically we develop applications for bank. So it works like a IT shop with all the crap that comes with it.... Every body ready to cut your throat to get anybody out of his bonus way. Everybody looks like in pressure and panic state. If you are looking for great work atmosphere and peaceful life where you can work and do some innovative work then DON'T come to this Cary Development Center. Only join this center , if you just want good pay and bonuses...but you should be ready to take this much stress, panic , and ready to be micro managed by omnipresent managers.

Pros

Some good people, if you get the right kind of boss you can work on a pet project for a while and then quit before anyone notices you haven't delivered anything really usable.

Cons

so, so many - most of the MDs and Ds here would absolutely not be hired at any other bank because they have zero skills, so they're clinging on until they go down with the ship.
