Pros

The benefits package is top notch, 4 weeks vacation, personal time, etc. Some good people/managers who try to do the right thing regardless of the obstacles thrown in front of them. If you luck out and get in a team that has a decent command structure, there is room for advancement and expansion of your skillsets.

Cons

Cronyism, politics, and silo'd teams are rampant, so good luck trying to find out anything out about the other departments you work with, especially if there is an issue. Management is a joke as they are constantly rotating in and out and only reactionaries seem to be promoted, which leads everyone to chasing the fire of the moment. Burnouts are extremely common and tolerated as management believes they can just throw more bodies into the mix until things level out.

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).
