Pros

You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Cons

You leave dumber before you came into the company. PMC/Performance Management Central is a joke. HR is just a suicide prevention hotline. A new fire drill everyday. Innovation is stifled. People are not accountable for their actions. People got away with being shluffs. WM, CCB, and CIB (in order of increasing idiocy) were the biggest bunch of idiots I worked with. When tempers flare, the CIO would come in to calm the waters. Extremely poor hiring practices. Company would do things just to get folks to leave and not have to pay severance. You are monitored when you enter or leave a building, when you go to the cafeteria, when you print, if you work remote, as you walk to and from your car. Everything is watched. You are just a standard ID. Run...run as fast as you can away from this place and don't look back. "Chase what matters!"

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).
