Pros

There are many positives in working at BMO. The people, culture, stability and growth potential are some of the key highlights.

Cons

As with any large organization, there can be challenges in implementing changes and keeping up with technological advances. Despite that, it's a great organization to work at.

Pros

Life at BMO is all about your immediate manager. If you have a good one you'll have a great work-life balance and your day to day job can be pretty great.

Cons

Raises just don't exist here. If you're considering a job at BMO, negotiate a salary that you will be happy earning for several years (until you can get a different job/promotion within the bank or elsewhere). They recently decided to eliminate the pension entirely. The health insurance is pretty awful and expensive. Our technology is a total joke. Senior management is sadly out of touch and often holds "town hall" meetings that do nothing but waste time and allow management to pat themselves on the back. Everything here is very bureaucratic and there's a ton of red tape for even the most simple things.
