We feel like we belong

At PNC, the rewards come from overcoming challenges together. We know real motivation isn’t handed out; it’s earned through meaningful work. That’s why we attract exceptional talent and motivate them with hard problems, all in pursuit of doing the best work of your life alongside people who may just be your friends, too.

There is no “one way” to be here...

….other than showing up with Good Energy, a passion for solving hard problems, and a willingness to go the extra mile.

Whether that means bringing your dog to a meeting or sitting in a bean bag chair with your laptop, we want you to feel like yourself while doing the work that helps move our business forward.

Builders’ Workshops motivate and inspire us with innovative perspectives, while people leaders participate in monthly leadership trainings to develop their skills. Programs like these have led to PNC being certified as a Great Place to Work® since 2017.

Feeling engaged and empowered in a people-first culture

It’s about attracting the best people, empowering them to take smart risks, collaborating to overcome challenges, and celebrating our successes along the way.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Ching-Yee hanging out with her husband and kids, collecting cookbooks and (unsuccessfully) trying to meditate. And let’s not forget to mention her favorite part of the day – early morning snuggles with her basset hound.
