Pros
Global reach and vast array of technologies, allows you to experience a whole range of situations, takes employee variety seriously, most people are good to work with, excellent benefits, more traditional than others (this is a good thing, since it wasn't affected much by the downturn). Overall, a good & stable place to work - some areas within the bank actually did quite well even in bad times.
Cons
Technology within the bank is currently in a dreadful state, to the point that it's almost working against the employees. There are layers upon layers of segregated technology departments, and trying to get a lot of things done or anything out of the ordinary done can be incredibly difficult. It also means that almost no-one takes any ownership of the issues that come up because they're not directly affected. Financial rewards have taken a slight turn for the worse recently given the actual profit figures. Despite the talk, training could be a lot better, at the moment employees have to push for it to happen.
