Vantaggi
Scotiabank is a large, diverse organization with a significant international footprint. It offers a wide variety of roles in many countries that allows someone to develop a broad career in multiple disciplines. The company offers reasonable benefits. Vacation time is good and generally based on number of hours worked, they also allow someone to carry over 5 days if they are not used. They provide 3 personal obligation days that cannot be carried over but can be used as required. The company will pay for Spanish lessons. Lots of opportunity to learn. However more conducive for people who are self taught.
Svantaggi
Scotiabank systems and processes are poorly out of date. The bank relies heavily on legacy systems and a patchwork of old systems layered on top of each other. To provide some perspective it is like looking at old plumbing done by an inexperienced handyman with a collection of copper, lead, electrical conduit and plastic pipes held together with duct tape, glue and solder. Rather than fix the core problems work continues with more patchwork.
