Pros

- The WLB hasnt been too bad. I would think depends on the team but generally speaking its manageable - The benefits like parental leave, vacation days, pension are decent too - I think the sale to US Bank is a better path forward as MUFG's existing ways of working is so old, makes you feel you are at minimum 5-7 years behind other leading banks. - Work from home flexibility

Cons

The leadership direction lacks efficient execution. An ambitious technology transformation was planned but the execution was very poor. The whole department was over-budget, major projects were abruptly shutdown or directions were changed mid-way. A lot of the funds were exhausted in re-strategizing the plan and objectives. Significant Tech debt, regulatory issues, end of life technologies Day to day tools and systems are very old Gazillion approvals are needed prior to implementing anything Extremely subjective performance review process. The framework lacks consistency and making real difference in employee development.
