Pros

Very modern and ergonomic hardware in the office

Cons

- 4 day in office mandate paired with draconian enforcement - crisis management with suboptimal staffing as a default management style - senior management fails to convey any sense of direction other than “let’s do more with less” - (very subjective but echoed by former colleagues) overwhelming vibe that employees are there to be used to the maximum and thrown out when they burn out.

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.
