Pros

Probably the only pro is the office is nice and people have heard of the bank

Cons

HR is literally inept. It took 3 weeks after coronavirus for employees to be able to work from home because the company is so cheap they won’t even get people laptops during emergency situations. M&A is a joke, leverage finance closes no deals. 5 juniors left from August to February, just on my floor online. It’s French bosses getting rich using underpaid local Asians who live at home and have no life. Almost every single person seems to either have just arrived or about to leave.

Pros

- Good work life balance. - Good atmosphere in my team.

Cons

- Salary is 30-40% under market, despite "above expectations" at performance reviews and consistent positive feedbacks. Run away if you're on a visa, they'll take advantage of you. - I agree with other comments, HR team is toxic, power play. - Slow. - Don't expect to be able to change things. - No IT culture, lots of manual tasks with low value added due to very poor IS. You'll spend half your time exporting data from legacy systems, manipulate the data and do low value added reporting. As an example, you need to go through a poorly designed UI to export a greek, and wait ~15/30min to proceed with another export. And you only have access to a quarter, so for a period of one year, it's 4 exports. Imagine having to export 3 different greeks over a year, that's 12 exports. - IT team couldn't whitelist yahoo finance endpoints after two years of back and forth with several IT teams.
