Pros

Good People, Laid back atmosphere, great benefits, Senior management communicates continuously, truly global environment, opportunities to work with multiple global teams.

Cons

Bad pay master, epitome of politics and its woes, right hand does not know what left is doing, poor human resource management, they did not even bother to condut an exit interview for me, I was quite senior in my team over in the erstwhile CMB. Inconsistent upper management. several levels / layers of hierarchy. Lowest levels of worker productivity of all the banks.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
