Cons

Bureaucracy: As with any Tier-1 bank, the approval pipelines and compliance layers can be dense, which may slow down project execution. Work-Life Balance: Can be challenging during peak periods or major market shifts. Advice to Management: Continue streamlining internal workflows to empower middle management and speed up decision-making.
