Pros

Learn Non Transferable Skills, meaning you leave everything on the floor when Quitting the Job and u will as a Software Developer.

Cons

Core Identity: This is not a technology company. Management Focus: The management culture is strictly top-down. The main priority is achieving metrics and goals passed down from senior leadership, with little emphasis on the process or team autonomy. Tech Team Structure: There is a rigid separation between roles. Architects design solutions but do not code, which can create a disconnect from the developers who implement the work. Recruitment Warning: The company's HR department may market it as a "tech company" to attract talent. This branding does not reflect the actual internal culture or priorities.

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).
