Washington Mutual was a great place to work...until the end
Pros: I felt like I worked with my extended family and I was able to chart my own course in a big way.
Cons: The end, when the bank literally failed (or was allowed to fail, unlike the other "big banks"), was rough. Seeing stock gains vanish into thin air was tough to take, plus being acquired for next to nothing by Chase was hard to swallow. After the take over, all of the good reasons for working there disappeared.
