Pros

Nothing at this company was positive

Cons

If you are a data scientist or developer, never consider an opportunity at this company even if they pay you tons. This company is a nightmare old fashioned, that is full of toxic people with negative attitudes towards everyone. The company is full of politics to the level of hell and in the same team everyone is rude even the leadership. The promotions are set if you are a sycophant to your manager and not with quality work

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.
