Pros

The canteen is nice. There is a siege mentality which means colleagues gel well on a personal basis. There are global opportunities if your face fits.

Cons

Management pays lip service to people development. Objectives even if set are ignored and have no impact on "pay for performance" no pay rises for certain levels for years, jobs offered and rescinded, incompetent and damaging staff left in place. There is no overall feeling of "pulling together" for one goal. Compliance focuses on the wrong things.

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).
