Pros

Safe and stable. Despite the "Bank" in the name, not a traditional bank. Mostly asset servicing, asset mgt and private wealth.

Cons

Different units never seem to know what the others are doing. For example, we sell accounting services and analytical software. But most internal units use products from competitors. Something like 19 different accounting systems used at the various asset mgt units. And they go outside to Barra, FactSet and RiskMetrics instead of in-house products. To contrast, the largest user of Yield Book is Citigroup. If a product or service isn't used by your own people, how good can it be?

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
