Pros

Almost impossible to get fired. Bank continues to cut affiliates headcount and sending jobs to low cost areas such as Chennai India, Piittsburgh, Florida.The US staff always needs to babysit the India staff and redo the work because they are incompetent. Nothing will change because the CIO is from Chennai.

Cons

While business continues to do well(so we are told constantly) management continue to cut headcount while signing more complex customers and the pressure on remaining staff is horrible. The promotion process is a joke. It takes 3 months a year and multiple committees to review all promotions. If you are lucky to get promoted do not expect more money. You should be happy they gave you more responsibility and your family never sees you.

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.
