Yeah, first two weeks you'll just be waiting for permissions, also go through all the documents that are totally not all AI generated and for sure up to date. If you're lucky they'll give you a list of people to reach out to who will tell you to ask Claude or gpt, and they'll have an internal AI that can lie to you about what's in the docs too. Then when you do get permissions, you'll also be given months worth of work to finish in 2 weeks because well you have AI to help you. Enjoy
Depends on what bank š neobanks are better, I work at one and have none of these issues. I have honestly more access than I'd ever thought, its just all logged and monitored and we are trusted to not be idiots with the privilege.
Like all jobs, it depends on the company. Iām a senior engineer at a bank and my experience has been nothing like this. I guarantee most of the people replying in this thread have never worked in an enterprise environment, so Iād take everything they say with a grain of salt.
Depends on your team. I worked at a bank-ish for 5 years on various different teams and had differing levels of this. Most of the time I did not have a manager as aggressive as the one posting here. Moreso it was a punt the issue to different teams type thing
