Pros

Nice environment, great pay, awesome people to work with, faced-paced environment, pantry concessionaires are the best!

Cons

Doesn't really give people second chances after 6 months of probationary period. I was, at that time, from a tech and sales company where it doesn't matter if we spent 45mins to an hour over the phone. I wasn't given any warning beforehand that after 6 months of not performing what they expect you to be, they'd kick you out. My manager, was on maternity leave, so the relief manager was there; she didn't even defended me. I had to look for another job in like, a few days before Christmas. It was a hard time for me since I am the breadwinner of my family, it's even harder to let them know that I lost my job. Any heads-up from the very beginning would've been appreciated.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
