Pros

They invest in providing the "best possible candidate experience", and claim to be "dedicated to the continued enhancement of our recruitment processes". That's all fine and dandy, but they should be dedicated to RETAINING their qualified employees

Cons

They are only good for interviewing practice. Once you begin working there, you will quickly realize that the company does NOT care about you or your career advancement. Employee retention & recognition is pathetic They are notorious for being CHEAP, and pay their employees well under market value

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.
