Pros

The corporate values (fair, caring, dynamic, driven, etc ) were embrassed by many of the employees that worked there. While there were tight timelines on many projects it seemed that you could easily limit your hours to 40 per week without any adverse impacts on the projects - this was due primarily to the fact that the company was over staffed and there were a lot of resources to get the work done. The people were great!

Cons

Incompetent management drove the company into the ground. Just because they had a large staff didn't mean they had the RIGHT staff, they could have done much more with less if they would have focused on the job at had and not building little fifedooms! Management needs to go back to school - and now they have the time:)

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).
