Pros

Great offices, cafeteria and free meals. Good insurance coverage and wellbeing benefits. You don't get pressurised to work. Teams are helpful.

Cons

Since it's a US based company, atleast some members are from US and scrum calls always happen in the evenings around 5:30 to 7:30 range. If there is more to discuss, calls will be scheduled afterwards. On weekdays don't expect to relax in the evenings. You won't be free until atleast 8 - 9 PM. By the time you get out of office, the city would be already beginning to sleep. All shops will close. All you can do then would be go home and sleep. This is the lifestyle if you work from India in BNY. Company location in Chennai is near airport and there are no good places to go after 9 PM.

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.
