Pros

- It is a bank, money is not an issue so you will find all the tools and resources you need to implement any architecture. - Proprietary CI/CD pipeline, sandbox infrastructure to test your build, deployments and POCs - Canadian slow pace culture at work, plenty of time to complete your tasks if you can defend yourself at daily meeting - Pretty diverse team and workers, no discrimination of any kind - Career plan and encouragement to grow, annual performance review and feedback

Cons

- Low salary, you can get better offers easily - Lots and lots of meetings, reduced time to actually work on your tasks - Hard to be promoted, only if you're leaving and you're really good - High VPN Restrictions, working while listening to music is a challenge
