Pros

Salary was good. People were generally very clever.

Cons

Organisation of projects was pretty chaotic - projects frequently got cancelled after significant effort had been put in. There was no real process in place - There was a release every 3 months or so, but it wasn't very well planned and frequently targets were missed, or changed throughout the cycle. That was about it really as far as process goes. The project I worked on was enormous, on its last legs, had zero unit testing, and was therefore totally unsuited to any refactoring. Most of our effort was spent on bug fixing. The delicacy of the code meant that implementing even the simplest new features took an age.

Pros

Benefits and work/life balance. It used to take the company way to long to get rid of under achievers. This was greatly improved.

Cons

Poor bonus over the last few years. The bank really needs to improve its promotion process. Very hard to move up in rank even when you receive an excellent review.
