Does NOT care about us!!

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, I suppose, but it could be better.

Cons

ALWAYS short-staffed, the tellers spend a majority of time on their phones when we have time. There have been (verified) allegations of sexual harassment, and I've witnessed my manager fire someone who reported sexual harassment. There are many times where customers have tried to enter the bank 10 minutes before closing, and are turned away, despite many of them *really* needing the money, especially if the weekend is coming up. If you speak Spanish, then you can get away with bad behavior. If you don't, then you don't last long, even if you're a good person.

No good quality work/Manager centric org

Lead software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary above market average. Free Cab facility even within the city. Food at reduced price. Groups for sports/culture/talent if you are interested. Work from office - 3 days a week (September 2024)

Cons

This review is about WIMT LOB. There are small applications (UI with 1 spring boot instance) with very little scope. Mostly back-office applications. If you are lucky you will get a good application having microservices and latest technologies. Mostly maintenance applications with only technical changes. Software engineering managers are supposed to be technical owners but they will push all technical work to lead/team members. Mostly manager centrist teams even though Agile is followed. They still don't use public cloud. As a lead you will feel frustrated to work because you will be stuck doing the same work as Senior Software Engineer. You will be the only person working on a small maintenance application sometimes. If you have end-to-end full stack and devOps skills, they will go waste. No work satisfaction.

Pros

They can pay you well

Cons

HR is too strong. I found an issue in HR data and turned it in, they decided that they needed to cover it up and fired me. 20 years and they ruined my life. Leave as soon as you can
