Pros

The people are smart, talented individuals and the work is complex, challenging which helps you learn a lot about the industry.

Cons

There are not enough resources and they continue to downsize in areas that need it. This makes it harder for the teams to support other internal teams such as Sales, Product, etc. It seems like a popularity contest to get promoted, It is based on who you know. It is not based on what you have done, the value you add, and what you have done for others to help them be successful. They promote women, but most of the women are tough or bullies. If you are a woman who is nice, beware - it will be very challenging for you to be successful.

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).
