Pros

Some junior staff are great to chat about how to leave

Cons

Focused on bureaucratic process. Very poor culture without any benefits to make up for. Spiteful people focused on internal lobbying games. Career progression is all as bad as in other reviews. HR is not your friend and extremely incapable of doing anything. Very tribal and harsh culture of abusing each other. Not transparent with lots of ethical problems internally. Salary is laughable. Lots of insecure people who know their career is over. Work life balance depends largely on department - investment department (somehow called ‘banking’) juniors end up working 16h+ for longer periods of time including weekends.

Pros

International exposure to emerging market interesting and talented junior colleagues

Cons

- Managers do not care about juniors career progression and some do not have integrity - Work is repetitive once you understand it and lacks challenges, which means many works are highly AI replaceable - The quality of mid-management really varies, Some talented mid senior people are quiet while mediocre take the place. - Reacts slow to market and some red tapes - Not a resourceful bank in terms of reputation and benefits

We have been committed to developing an ever-expanding array of developmental opportunities and resources for all employees, especially within internal hiring opportunities, which has been a growth in recent years.
