Pros

Salary and Benefits Work/Live Balance Work with smart people

Cons

Slow to make decisions, significant time spent in meetings talking it over and then presented to senior management for decison Culture felt more like banking in the 1980's. Kind of stuffy, decision making at the top, climate of fear Reactive instead of pro-active

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).
