Pros

Experience will vary and be HEAVILY dependent on the team you're placed on. Healthcare, 401k are very good and the PTO is generous as well, something like 20 days + sick days + personal days. They're pushing AI which is going to be the new standard in software moving forward. Opportunity to learn new or modern technology. Highly stability.

Cons

Some teams were highly micro managerial, with leadership being very condescending, ungrateful, and not allowing autonomy in terms of growth. Expecting sacrifice without anything in return. Low annual hike and little to no bonus. Another team, had the complete opposite and positive experience. The company itself seems to care more about things like RTO rather than actual productive work. 5 days in office. Lots of red tape.

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).
