Pros

Good starting job in Banking. A lot of young people, a lot of nationalities. Good teamwork (although largely driven by being 'in the same boat')

Cons

No clear or ambiguous communication in the department I worked. Frequently overtime and no appreciation by management. If you are not part of the inner circle : no promotion, favoritism is frequently seem.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
