Pros

Strong brand name and global credibility Good exposure to AML, financial crime, and compliance frameworks Structured processes (helpful for beginners) Decent work-life balance compared to many consulting firms Stable organization with clear hierarchies Good for building foundational domain knowledge

Cons

Work can become repetitive and process-driven Limited innovation and creative problem-solving Growth is slow unless you actively switch teams or geographies Feels more like an operations + execution role than a strategic one Learning plateaus after a point Less exposure to business-side decision making

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
