Pros

It's really easy to apply and get selected since not many candidates are interested in working in this bank. It's really ideal for university fresh graduates to get a start in the banking field. Pay is above average

Cons

Horrible management. outdated system. unmotivated staff. limited career advancement once you are in the organization.

Pros

Very large financial group. Varied experience

Cons

Work! work!! work!!! for employees. Fine! Fine!! Fine!!! for the Bank. Need to work in hours starting from Hong Kong time to Chicago times. Managers expect work seven days a week. Projects are too aggressive. Management pushes unreasonable targets and finally projects get cancelled or not promoted to Production or undergo extensive changes. Always Damocles sword is hanging about moving position to offshore or outsource. Higher management does not care about employees. Management has made so many issues and keep paying billions and billions in every country. Sorry a bad employer!

Very diverse work environment, Was able to gain a lot of knowledge and skills to broaden the horizons for the future.

Cons

Very task specific, if you like data entry and sitting at a computer all day this is a good job.
