Pros

Till 2024, it was fun but also work, people used to come office & used to be innovative.

Cons

Since Jan 2025, Difficult deadline after restructure work life balance is bad, only work work work. Management think with Copilot or Claude everything can be done in one week. - Shout Out, email appreciation, Thank you note, but still No increments (hardly 1-2%)

Pros

- Decent retirement and health benefits - You will work with some very talented and knowledgeable ICs - Opportunities for lateral internal movement

Cons

- Your experience as a Software Developer / IC entirely depends on your manager - Pre-Covid salaries were very competitive within the Canadian market. Now salaries fall into low-average market range - Push for AI adoption comes from non-technical middle/senior management and lacks proper vision and direction - False sense of stability, I have seen many silent lay-offs happen since the pandemic ended - Lack of growth. If you are early in your career, do not stay here for more than couple years or you are likely to get pigeonholed into working banks
