Pros

Known within financial services. Nothing much otherwise.

Cons

Spending one year or five years before leaving doesn't matter to this organization as they do not care for people or let's say for outperformers or better performers. If you are in, you are not valued. They hire people when there is no work and terminate people when they have worked hard. People get promoted just because they have been loyal to their bosses or just because they didn't find a job anywhere and had no option but to remain with this laid back company. No clarity on role between people within the same team having different titles. Organization still functions with age-old beliefs where reviews are not linked with performance. People at higher levels take the entire bonus pie despite having a high base. HR is non-existent, responds only to reviews in Glassdoor but never responds to employees who are in the organization. HR has no standards of deciding bonus or compensation scales. Random without any justifications.
