Pros

Very good work life balance, reasonable benefits, flexibility in terms of occasionally working from home.

Cons

Limited career growth, way too many levels of management. Some very senior managers are not exactly inspiring or seemingly competent. Organization is not setup to reward individual contributors as much as they are setup to reward anyone with a sales type of a position/management type role. In other words, if you are not looking to get into management you have for the most part capped your development and compensation growth.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
