Pros

Good benefits. Amazing parental leave.

Cons

Sadly, leadership is now pitting you against your peers with performance reviews and so many on the team must meet a "below expectations" even when employees are meeting expectations. So direct supervisors must find reasons for you to rank you below. For an instance, an error you made in January that could be super small, shows up on your end of year in December although the individual has improved and remedied the area of development. You need to watch your back at every turn and ensure you don't go against the flow. Drink the koolaid if you want to stay but always have something in your back pocket because you never know when your time is up. Your supervisors fear for their own jobs so they simply go along with toxic decisions.

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.
