Pros

Many opportunities to travel internationally and to move jobs between different businesses within the bank. Generally a very inclusive work environment where internal networking is actively promoted by senior management. Pay is in line with the top of the market for top performers.

Cons

Highly political matrix-management can stifle innovation. Frequent changes at MD level can mean that strategy is not consistent from one year to the next. Combined with the institution's conservative approach can make the work environment feel that it lacks dynamism. A very US-centric HQ an corporate culture.

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).
