Pros

The only pro is their name recognition. They spend millions on TV advertising, so the networks love them and will never say anything critical.

Cons

Dystopian nightmare of a firm, that will work you to death without a second thought. Having a good manager there is critical. Unfortunately, most of the managers are driven by the annual bonus. This creates a culture of sadists where they fire the support staff and invest little in technologies because it makes the bottom line look better. Also, too many levels of management results in an inflexible, psychotic workplace. Warning: employees there must drink the Kool-Aid at all times or suffer the consequences.

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).
