Pros

Flexible working hours - at a minimum wfh on Fridays. . Good benefits.

Cons

Forced ranking mandates 10% will get no bonus and 15% will be rated 'partial met expectations' and get low merit / bonus. 25% is way too high unless you have a real issue with your hiring and perpetually hire sub-par employees. Performance rating is a joke - managers are forced to think about who they would like to keep. Career progress is extremely hard as promotions are tied to the highest performance rating that is highly restricted to a percentage. However play increases are also tied to ratings so managers are forced to use rating to adjust pay that has drifted way out of line in order to keep employees rather than focus on career progression. It's deeply flawed . Long hours.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
