Pros

-Pay is better than market. -Yearly hike and gifts are given. -Relaxed working environment; If you don't want to change your company and settle down, this might be a good option

Cons

- No WFH facility - Manager owns your life so if you are in his/her good books, only then you'll be able to survive. - Technically you won't gain much here. It feels like a small family business there where everyone knows everyone and most of the work involves gossip.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
