Pros

Good office infrastructure and perks. Food and transport are good.

Cons

There is no work boundary. At least a manager or team member will be in US and all calls will be in the evenings. Cannot log out until 8PM for sure. Developer does requirement gathering, development, testing and release management. 2 weeks sprints are fast paced and at least one hour wasted in calls daily. Strong focus on AI and resource allocation has reduced. Once you join into a group which includes 4-5 small teams of 10, you will be stuck in that group, internal movement is very tough.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
