Pros

Highly recognized firm with a decent work life balance. They offer lots of training and the ability to develop new skills. They are very advanced when it comes to technology and supporting employee desktops.

Cons

Navigating the firm and getting recognized is very challenging. Compensation is less than many other firms in the area and benefits are the best. The environment is every changing and lack of senior managements involvement creates a lot of rework. Most of your day will be spent in meetings about having a meeting instead of actually working. You may only get two hours of productivity before what should be the end of your day arrives.

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).
