Pros

End to end view of Credit ecosystem Corporate Learning - there are internal courses to learn a load of things from people who have been in the top roles in the company Easy to switch teams WLB was great but is constantly deteriorating nowadays

Cons

Performance management This would take whole book to write about but still wouldn't make sense as to why they have it in such an outdated fashion twice a year leaving lesser time for actual work to be done. You gotta be popular in your team and some more to do well in this job. This isn't a role for heads down work. Take up this job only if you are great at making decks and presenting them, actual analysis may or may not be important depending on which team you are in but if you make pretty slides with pretty graphs that your skip likes then you might get to keep the job

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
