Pros

Benefits are good and pay is decent.

Cons

Too many managers on a power trip that like to micromanage. Its sad when the employee knows more than the manager and the manager gets to keep their job. I was laid off after 20 years of service due to a workforce reduction. Also, because I did not sit in a "so called" Hub location. Company is losing tons of talent over this, it's crazy especially when many of these jobs are not client facing. They are also shipping non client facing jobs to Mumbai or other countries. WFH is the new world, it's unfortunate Jamie cannot see this. No room for mobility unless you brown nose your way to the top. Many of my colleagues were promoted with less experience just because they portrayed themselves as the "yes man". Then they left after getting their title and went to other companies for better pay. Loyalty no longer exists in the employer to employee relationship. Diversity is over the top. I don't need to have an email sent to me daily to tell me how to not be racist or homophobic. I have many ethnic and gay family members, including myself. It's getting old. Talking about it constantly is making it worse.

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).
