Pros

Large global bank with potential for mobility

Cons

The culture and half hearted approach of management (especially Markets compliance) provides a very poor working environment. Everyone is scared of losing their jobs, therefore nothing changes, no challenge to the status quo. If the role will improve your CV go in with your eyes open to a very political and passive aggressive environment.

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
