Pros

Salary is adequate for the position and some of the people I came into contact with seemed genuinely cooperative and reasonably competent. Otherwise, I'd get a tongue-lashing for trying to do a professional quality job;I'd get the silent treatment for being friendly -- it's more like a penal colony than an office.

Cons

Bad management; arrogance coupled with incompetence; disagreeable, egotistical people without even a basic understanding of the work we're doing and a total aversion to quality. I'm not even doing the job I interviewed for!

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).
