Pros

- good career path if you have good manager, if you don't, escalating won't solve the problem (been escalating for 2 years, nothing changed) - the Group itself creates a good campaign (work life balance, improve way of work) - good corporate advertisement theme - good medical coverage - competitive loan benefit compared to other banks

Cons

- favoritism in some department - high gap of salary in the same level (though the one who gets better pay is not better than the other. Hi paid one usually made a good negotiation while joining) - I was once classified as hi-performer, and then got assigned to fix unit but then I failed. and then one who replaced me was 2 levels above me and also failed (no wonder I failed) In other word, they try to run as cheap as possible. - lack of system investment. If the labor cost is cheap, better do it MANually than automatically - different department, totally different budget (in non profit department, the budget is totally awful) - in some department, working 8 hours can be a sin (typical asia :)
