Pros

Inspired CEO has presented a compelling vision for the future of the organization Solid corporate citizenship with generous support for volunteerism & worthy causes Strong relationships with colleagues that turn into lasting friendships

Cons

The organization has taken several bad decisions at very senior levels over the last 15 years that have resulted in a risk-averse, CYA culture - they have a long way to go to transform the culture and the organization - the actions of many senior executives do not appear to support the required changes to achieve the CEO's vision While trust among team members is high, trust in colleagues outside team lags significantly contributing to unhealthy power struggles / turf battles and makes collaboration very challenging There is a big gap between the expressed commitment to support career progression and the reality / scarcity of internal promotions and transfers Compensation is at the lower end relative to the other domestic banks Very little support for conference participation
