Pros

Excellent if you love being enticed with false promises and the invisible dangling carrot. Beyond that, very little.

Cons

Teamwork is non existence nowadays, it's a dog eat dog environment. Managers just give lip service. Low level management just a screen for senior management who make all decisions, and have no reality of what is going on and who is doing what. Work life balance appalling. Systems are poor, and the hoops to jump through to gain access to needed applications is appalling. Systems is merely an off shore help desk, that is more content with issuing tickets than resolving issues. Previously prided itself as being employer of choice, now doesn't care at all about the employees.

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).
