Pros

Benefits are on par with other banks (or slightly better). Hours are not too bad in general.

Cons

As the name calls, it is a bureaucratic workplace stuff with generation of 50-60s. People tend to stick with groups whom they know for ages, rather than accepting new comers in a welcoming open-minded manner. Reluctant to change. Government like culture i.e. people go to work just to prepare for their retirement. Not an exciting place for people who want stimulation. To be fair, it may also depends on your boss's mindset. If you get an open-minded boss, you are lucky. But luck just doesn't appear in every team.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
