Pros
Good benefits and general vacation package for Officer level employees. You'll always find friendly co-workers and some of the French folks are personable as well. Good location. Clean office environment, although desks are tiny and crowded.
Cons
Working in IT is like having a glorified dead-end job. There's literally zero chance of movement unless your manager leaves. Quality work goes unrewarded most of the time and some of the departments within IT are extremely dysfunctional. Toxic political climate. There are several unqualified and completely clueless managers in charge that pretty much ruins it for the rest of us. Second-tier bank pay which means lower end of the scale. You will seldom see significant raises or bonuses to write home about. Sometimes you'll get the good old double zeros regardless of how hard you worked or the quality of work you have put out. Zero effort on attempting to keep talented employees on board, not that there are many of them here. Seems like a landing area for dead end "tech" people. No employee training program.
