Pros

Strong profile - blue-chip image is great for the CV Promotion and staff grading structure allows career progression - but may need to move to different departments to achieve this

Cons

Strong "grey-hair mentality" in some departments - the older you are, the more you may get listened too Lots of people who have been around for a long time - stuck in their ways Short-termist hire and fire mentality driven by US management - often make wrong decisions for global business

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).
