Pros

Free cab pickup and drop facilities, global brand name, less work pressure, comfortable working hours, good exposure to the global banking model

Cons

Feels like a school, only managers and above can use phones on the floor Slow outdated systems, websites don't open, searching for even codes is a nightmarish experience No scope to think and innovate, just get requirements and start executing Too hierarchical, values experience more than talent, leading to retention of dumb people in mid and senior level management, who can only talk

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
