Pros

Great colleagues who are down to earth and supportive. Processes are very clear and clean cut, which makes work easier compared to other roles in KYC/AML and Data Assurance/Data Quality at other banks.

Cons

This is a departmental complaint, as I only worked in two departments at MUFG. Middle management was lacking and worked in silos, which was bad for employee annual reviews and raises. While teams and SMEs would work hard, middle management would take credit and not go fight for more budget and or raises for the team. They were not all that supportive in your career development and growth. See a department or teams turnover rate and pay. If both are bad, then run. Also look at leaders, if it is non-existent and you don't respect your manager's experience, then run. Pay is notoriously bad, so it's a great place to start, but not a place to stay.
