Pros

Pay is market for recruiters It's easier to recruit top candidates when you have this great brand standing behind you Hiring managers are heavily involved with networking and helping to build pipelines Good benefits

Cons

Extremely long hours - very heavy req load 35+ reqs. Minimal work/life balance. A ton of PTO days but still expected to work Hiring managers are extremely demanding Toxic work environment - management allows team members and hiring managers to borderline verbally abuse you in the workplace Dog eat dog environment - if you can't keep up with the heavy work load and constant demand of hiring managers you are ostracized. It's a great company for recruiters who don't value their work/life balance, want to be working 15 hours a day and always on call.

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).
