Pros

Latest technologies, Pay is decent, Nice canteen and facilities, cab drops, company reputation.

Cons

Depending on the team, work-life balance can be horrible, like in my case. Never left office before 11 PM. Some work till 3 AM. HRs have no idea of work culture in a particular team. "Rarely you may have to stay a bit late" - is what they'd say before joining - Total BS. Managers form opinion even before you've started delivering. Lots of bias towards certain employees. Some employees are always right, some are always wrong. You'll be ignored deliberately in meetings. Your efforts will be ridiculed if you're not liked. Very unpredictable behavior from Manager. You get shouted for doing something one day, and for not doing the same thing other day. Reporting to multiple bosses - Each has their own agenda, mostly contradicting with each other. most of the time you get confused on what direction to take. Too much bureaucracy - to get a simple job done, there is a lot of process and approvals involved. Most of times you feel that you're chasing processes than getting work done. If something is successful, your Manager takes credit, something goes wrong - you're responsible. Too many meetings - most of them useless, you spend more than half day and most of your productive time in useless meetings. There are many more, but that's it for now.

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).
