Pros

In a big company like this alot will depend on your team and manager; so my experience may not be yours. But at least for me, the work life balance is great. I know some people complain they work too much, but I have never felt the compuction to work more then my normal hours, except the odd half hour here or there. I made it known very early on when my day is done im gone. I think people that are doing long hours have trouble laying that line down. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn new technologies and work and exciting new projects. Honestly this the best job i've had to date. The pay and benefits are good as well.

Cons

Bureaucracy can be a bit of an issue here. Thier forcing us to come back to the office 3 days a week to spite us all working from home successfully for the last 2 years. Pay here is good, but it could be better. Getting promoted to VP and above is alot about the people you know.

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).
