Pros

* WLB (depends across team) * Easy to change teams * Huge infra and opportunities to learn on latest technologies and tool stack * Stability * Good bonuses * Offers sponsorship

Cons

* very Bureaucratic * Need to make noise to make yourself visible, hard to be promoted if your silent worker and want your 9-5. * You donot get promoted or get higher position because you're capable, you need to tell leadership you want it and then prove them. * Negotiate well before you join in terms of salary because after that hike is negligible. Only promotion gives you proper salary hike. * You may need to sometime spoon feed business people if you're technologist. And that is an expectation hence part of your job.

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).
