Pros

Great colleagues who take the time to train you and to assist you with your job duties. Very knowledgeable senior managers with strong background in the industry. Good number of vacation days. Potentially strong bonus/incentive system. Well respected company with a strong credit culture.

Cons

Poor leadership. Very manual processes. Slow career advancement. Below average base salary compensation. Cheap/frugal culture even for a bank. Pay-for-performance culture is unevenly applied with a tendency to reward mediocrity. While the organization is the largest global bank in the market, there are still very limited opportunities to work in another country within the Group, except at the highest levels.
