PNC Bank Innovation & Technology Culture
PNC Bank Employee Perspectives
When it comes down to it, we want to build tech that will eventually be used. If we don’t anticipate all hurdles at the design stage, we run the risk of not realizing our vision. It’s about innovating thoughtfully and setting the team up for success.

Fraud is so varied, and fraudsters are so creative, so you are always developing something new. It can be fun and exciting. And PNC enables you to work with big data tools, so there’s just a ton of creativity involved in the job.

On PNC continuously incorporating modern engineering practices:
“Our work has a real impact. Applications are used by our customers every day and it is a critical tool in their financial life. It’s much more than testing. It allows us to have design discussions, risk decisions, and our work is both challenging and rewarding.”
