This is not optimal driving costs up and productivity down. And although there’s voice given to changing the “AS-IS” state. It’s slow to drive and fulfill our Consumer brand promise."

"I have been working for Umpqua Bank for the last 8 months. The original company I worked for was Sterling Bank. After the purchase, Umpqua IT department never asked, inquired nor took any of the 15 systems engineers' opinions even though both companies were roughly the same size. The Sterling IT processes and procedures were more mature for the size IT department we were. Umpqua uses more manual processes, old technology and will not even take the opinion of seasoned 20 year + veteran engineers."
