Pros

Pay is better than industry.

Cons

Company efficiency is horrible. Your immediate manager will compete with their counterpart to see how late they can make their underlings stay. Within 2 weeks of starting, my outlook calendar had 6-7PM meetings daily out to the next 4 months. The meetings were pointless and only served to send to the organizer's superior that they were "on top of things." The place is a mess and turnover was high. The result was everyone was new/bad at their jobs and combined with the disorganization, it made efficiency really low. They have 5 people doing a job that would be handled by one person in many banks. Upper management in New York often calls in to meetings and generally act like overgrown children to boss around underlings on pointless things.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
