Pros

Global company; lots of opportunities for movement; decent benefits; work/life balance is dependent on who your manager is; good sense on teamwork to get the job done.

Cons

Pay is significantly below market especially if you plan to stay with the company; every three years they take over another bank before they have their act together with the prior takeover; constant restructuring and layoffs while the big dogs take home huge bonuses.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
