Pros

1 - Good chance of internal mobility, Company doing well 2 - Can add good brand name on your CV 3 - They love to promote diversity (mostly for PR reasons). This could be a great place for the women.

Cons

1 - The QR Mumbai team has a bit political environment. Variable, promotion significantly depends on factors other than your performance. 2 - Fixed pay is significantly below the market rate. That makes the variable pay look good in terms of percentage. 3 - Work nature can get frustating, operational and less quant like. The role advertised would be state of the art R&D. The real work can be quite different from expectations. 4 - Management is sleeping and unaware of reality and without a care for the employees. 5- Work life balance is not great. The culture is to stay in office or WFH for long hours either working on projects or on management committees trying to make your name visible. The number of hours don't justify the compensation. 6 - No chance of relocation to business centers like London, NYC. 7 - Frequent cost cutting measures (cutting the office cabs, office overtime meals, etc. to save few tens of thousands rupees)

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).
