Pros

Stable job. There are always positions open to be filled. Easy place to start in a career if you have minimal experience.

Cons

Terrible transparency. Unprofessional peers. Rare to see proper collaboration skills. Management too political. Culture lacks empathy. Focus on delivering anything as fast as possible. There are too many people in positions they do not have proper skills and experience for. Quick turnover rates for positions.

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.
