Pros

Competitive pay, great colleagues, global

Cons

Abusive management, long hours. The management made poor decisions for the business and hired new people to clean up the mess and deflect blame. What they tell you in your interview about your potential job is likely wont be true. Your job description will change. The bank tries to cut costs so will give you double the workload of the job you applied to. The bank has laid off and lost so many people, so they just need bodies to do whatever they need you to do. This happens all over the bank, from retail to credit cards to marketing. Be warned.

Pros

Salary is actually good. Visibility within the organization.

Cons

Bonus is non-existent. The global audit tool remains a work in progress years after its launch. On average, audit methodology changes once/twice a year with no buffer, impacting whatever audit you are currently working on. No training, just tossed into the water and expected to win an Olympic medal in swimming. Local/Regional/Global teams all do it their own "way" , hence there is no "right"way and you end up each time just please the person above you. In addition to which all try to satisfy the quality control team. Mountains of red tape and lost man-hours. Global micro-managing through a global tool.

What strategy?

Pros

Early on, momentum was good and hiring was smooth.

Cons

Currently and over the last 3 years whatever strategy they told us was different from What went down. Over hired by a lot 3 years ago, since then, huge pockets of full timers are being cut and still to this day. Great people that had potential in other areas, but leadership only sees lower level people as game pieces that they can get rid of if their “strategic analysis of the job market” is off (always was). Dont recommend it, at least HR, until the dust settles and it will be a while.
