Banks must hire among the most inept IT people of any industry. Every time I log into PNC, I literally switch tabs and try and "do something else" for at least a minute, because that's how long it takes their Virtual Wallet bullshit to load. At least, that's what the site says it's doing. Loading. Only they have "HTML5" emblazoned in huge letters on the page, for some unknown reason, which inevitably makes me wonder what the fuck is taking so long then. Let me guess, your SOAP requests are 3 miles long. Uphill. Through the snow.
In my country theres a foreign worker scam that allows Indian companies to fly in the worst IT staff complete with fake resumes and pays them $6/hr for a year to screw up their website with dozens of SSL certs and slow security theatre that pretends to do something but is just a little flash to watch while you wait forever to load their junk software.
major banks here all made at least a trillion in profit last year but couldnt be arsed to pay for legit IT staff. now we all suffer paying tax dollars to track down all these thieves who easily fraud their faces off with the terribad security and poor code quality
