Pros

Brand name recognition, location, fast-paced environment (many projects to work on)

Cons

Management cares little about their staff, no willingness to retain talent within the company. Very little internal mobility. Recently on a downsizing trend. A lot of politics which is to be expected in a bank, but can refrain from moving, progressing both as an individual within the company and as a company on the whole.

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.
