Pros

The name can be useful once you’ve managed to leave

Cons

Pay is terrible and the career progression is is also terrible. There are people who have been analysts for 4+ years with no pay rise and promotion. Long hours and no overtime pay. We plus work a week a month worth of overtime and not receive any pay for it. They did say we could get leave back in lieu and then as we went to take it they said we couldn’t. Complete lack of trust and respect. Boring back office operations means the work it repetitive and extremely boring. For the reasons outlined above the staff turnover is the worst iv ever seen. Within 12 months while teams of 8 people resign and then are replaced and this cycle just repeats. It’s that back that they have a constant job opening so they can fill the expected resignations as fast as they can. They are aware of all of their short comings and have the money to change things but fundamentally it’s back office so they honestly just don’t care.

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).
