Pros

This bank has been facing lot of regulatory issues. It's gradually closing those. Usually get full bonus

Cons

1. Organizational Structure is really messed up in some cases. Single employee being managed by two people leading to lot of inefficiencies. 2. The technology platforms used are primitive and there's tremendous scope for improvement there. Lot of things being done manually. 3. Higher management does not have good amount of visibility over the kind of work being done in teams. People with no expertise in a specific field are given Titles that do not suit their profile. This leads to misconception about the kind of work being done in the team. This is a huge disadvantage for people applying for jobs to a position within such a team. 4. Several teams are understaffed. 5. Hiring manager not revealed for internal job postings which makes it difficult to explore opportunities without disclosing to your current manager. 6. Underpaid in comparison to industry average.

Pros

Health benefits, hours, Paid time off

Cons

The NYC back-office is in dire shape. We have lost four people in just 5 months. Two of our most respected, forward thinking and trustful working managers resigned. Yet, the senior leadership and HR teams remain the same. The commercial business lines are provided an unhealthy carte blanche and support silos, show disrespect as long as they can hide it. If Ana Botin had any idea what the NYC back-office Commercial Business Line and Operations team gets away with doing because there is no check, I imagine she would make immediate adjustments. Sadly, it was truly one of the most horrid and toxic experiences of my career. The lack of integrity in the NYC back office is outright appalling.
