Pros

The only silver lining is that the salary comes on time. That’s it.

Cons

Toxic teams thrive, with no accountability and zero emotional intelligence. The top management is not just incompetent, but reeks of corruption — protecting their own interests while the rest of the company suffers. No defined HR processes — policies are vague, implementation is arbitrary, and grievances vanish into a black hole. Obsessed with ticking boxes for mandatory trainings just to fool regulators into thinking all is well. Real learning and growth? Non-existent. Under the garb of “quality” and “strategic realignment,” they cut hundreds of employees — not for performance but to shield leadership failures and preserve their own chairs. They proudly call themselves a “bank captive,” but operate exactly like a low-end BPO — no domain expertise, no vision. Rampant internal politics with untrustworthy colleagues and leaders who play dirty to climb the ladder. Promotions are based on loyalty and survival, not merit — many leaders are there simply because they’ve stayed long enough, not because they’re capable.

Pros

1. Company is good for learning and growing 2. You can sustain for long if you like mundane and ops related work 3. Don't expect your visibility to the management, just keep working

Cons

1. Company has acquired 2 JV which caused them a large cash flush, hence work force has triple fold 2. You are nothing to them until unless they have a budget 3. Until Unless your work is not getting highlighted you are nothing to them, your manager will also not care about you
