Pros

Goof place if you are interested in an international opportunity as the bank has a lot of offices all around the world. It is very difficult to find a secondment though and only the most networked employees with tons of patience can find something.

Cons

No career prospects in Salinas. Very limited training available to employees and all learning has to be due to self-initiative. The culture of the bank is very much driven by "don't ask too many questions in senior management meetings" or you are considered to be disrespectful.
