It is like working for government but with higher paid. You can hardly get fired. Would be nice for someone like stable life.

Not the best place to build a career

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance, some staff are dedicated to the mission which makes for a brilliant work environment sans politics

Cons

Very convulated political atmosphere that favors sucking up to managers rather than staff performance, poor managerial skills in many units and no real commitment to improve the situation. The bank would rather protect bad managers and lose good staff members. Poor HR department, often bureaucratic and out of touch with staff needs and how to address them rather choosing to operate like a call center! Ineffective internal conflict resolution system as the Bank hides behind its immunity to local laws.
