Pros

-Great name - fancy building nice perks - Access to different areas of business - some great professional individuals to learn from

Cons

- Internal company red tape with procedures. - A lot could be automated Very manual and old school mindset. - No adequate training just thrown in the deep end and told to learn and if you don’t understand something it’s your fault, Although no proper training given. - If you get stuck with the wrong manager/team no new ideas will be heard. It’s either their way or it’s wrong and you’ll be shutdown and said you’re wrong if you try new ways. - The rotation scheme doesn’t give Graduates much option to pick where to go it’s all picked by the Seniors. Even after the 2 years the third year (full time) is picked by them so in total 3 years no control over your own career.

Pros

Some of the internal platforms have dev teams that would rival any other tech company. Can learn a lot if you end up on one of those teams.

Cons

Completely crap shoot as to if you land on a good team or a completely incompetent one. If you're on a bad one good luck. On a bad team you can expect vague work requirements and huge work loads with unmanageable delivery timelines. Also they're outsourcing to India heavily. Also also, most senior management is completely out of touch with reality and don't understand the tech stack they own (more you interact with them the more frighteningly obvious it becomes). HR is completely incompetent, of course, it's an open secret at the bank.
