Pros

Good co-workers and a very good product suite

Cons

Absolutely terrible corporate culture. The focus is utterly on the numbers with no consideration of the human factor. The bank suddenly removed medical benefits for anyone retiring after 2021 so there's people who have worked there 20-30 years who were counting on that but wont get it. If they have a preexisting condition they're out of lucky competely and even if they don't it's VERY expensive. There's tremendous pressure to hit targets and staff go to grey areas to hit them. if you're politically connected you get off, if not you get let go. Also lots of unpaid overtime.

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
