Pros

Good brand and market recognition - looks good on a CV. Working heavily with emerging markets - good exposure versus other banks.

Cons

Product set quite standard and not too sophisticated. Little room for growth as most teams quite saturated. Rely too heavily on soft targets such as number of calls made.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
