Pros

Good organisation, depends on the team you work with.

Cons

I was force to resign from the organisation because of politics. They extended my probation period with silly reasons. Then they gave me written exam on process, after four continues attempts, taught by one person and evaluation done by the same person, still didn’t clear the exam. Reason: grammatically errors etc... After the exam, in meeting along with the HR, manager threatens me that I will be terminated if I don’t resign myself (for not clearing the test). The fact is that I heard the Vice President of the Team saying clearly that I wanted this person to get rid off and do whatever it takes after I denied to move to morning shift for few months. I heard this from outside the meeting room. Then one by one they made reason for extending the probationary period, followed by written test, followed by forced resignations. What happened to the core values: “Integrity”

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).
