Pros

Work from home, flexi and health benefits. Senior management (eg Head of business unit) is approachable.

Cons

- Long timers (more than 10 years) have left the bank in the past year due to changes in management, politics, no career advancement. - Middle office, operations lower focus compared to front office (bigger budget for training, promotions). Record profits for the past year but not sure where the money went for bonus (ie not for middle and back office). - If your boss is an Japanese expat, expect changes in management every 2-3 years. -Some of the middle managers do not know what the ground is doing but able to fake it to senior management.

Pros

Job security. Leadership looks for ways to utilize its talent. If there isn't a fit in one area, you have flexibility to move to another-more career options. Big company so lots of opportunities to find a role that fits.

Cons

Salary is well below similar banks of its size. Office politics and difficulty advancing unless you're friendly or have connections to senior leadership. You'll get more opportunities for promotion if you're tenured, not necessarily if you're more qualified.
