Pros

They allow junior employees to take on responsibility and get hands on experience. In other words, you work hard and credit is given to you. You may be the most junior in the team but you still get to face clients immediately when you're in front office. You're not just assisting the head of the team.

Cons

Politics. Wonder what senior management have in mind and whether they truly understand what is happening on the ground. The 'team' culture is not that strong either. It is good to be self motivated but most of the time, its better to work together with your team mates instead of trying to outshine everyone else. The event or client etc is more important than trying to show off to others or claim credit.

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).
