Pros

Good pay. Opportunities for professional growth. Great diversity program.

Cons

Cliques control the game - in the last 3 or 4 retrenchment program, none of the caucasians or indians were affected even if some of the Asians had better performance appraisal/ranking. Non-performing Executive Directors were untouchables. The Juniors and middle management took the brunt.

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).
