Pros

Global bank, pretty good remuneration, opportunities for growth if you find the right sponsors and teams.

Cons

The politics, empire building/protectionism, lots of dead-wood roles with over-inflated sense of importance, not customer-focused. Some bad compliance press. Bad behaviour (bullying) is ignored and sometimes rewarded!
