Pros

Transportation, Initially good salary, flexible work timings, good place to work if you dont want to grow, can do repetitive menial work without getting bored for hours

Cons

No innovation, you don't need to use your brains to work here. Horrible politics, biased people. Major communication gaps between onsite and offshore team. Sometimes, onsite team treats offshore team as their slaves. If you are pet of your onsite manager, you will get loads of good work else.. forget it... come to office, do some menial job and leave..

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).
