Pros

Safe company in tough times, despite what seems regular cut backs. Funding for staff development has not been cut back. Lots of opportunities as such a huge employer, just need to find the right area for you (something I have not achieved thus far). Generally a good overall culture.

Cons

Very bad management in many areas. Development plans are encouraged within team, but then very rarely lead to promotion. Salary below market rate on average across group. Expenses constantly cut back for Shareholders and profits, but nothing seems to be re-invested in company. End of year rating system with set benchmarks for each grade is flawed.

Pros

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
