Pros

Teammates were great. Nice offices. Good opportunities for training if you push hard to get them. The IT team were great. Great experience working with clients.

Cons

Zero training when starting Micro-management Always changing teams around Expected to work a lot of overtime due to not enough staff Structure seems unorganised - No one knows who does what in other teams If you are good, they will dump more on you rather than sort out training for others to shift the workload.

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.
