Pros

It is a very open environment, you can easily reach out other people in the organization and generally they will welcome you and openly discuss topics you want to know. It is a fair environment and even when there are conflicts, normally they do not escalate to certain level of unfairness I have seen in other big companies. It is a big company but with the style of a smaller one, in the more positive sense of the word

Cons

Speed is quite slow for most of the things, change is quite difficult because of comfort zone.

Pros

Highly intelligent colleagues and leadership that really wants to make the company change its old ways and become more client centric while improving employee engagement. Its true there is lots of change, but you cannot improve without change.

Cons

It can be too process driven at times and thus slow, but it comes from it's heritage in risk management.
