Pros

- People are great to work with. - Less micromanagement (depends on the team) - Great WLB - Free Cab service provided.

Cons

- The tech is lagging behind industry standard (it is catching up) - Things and decisions move around more slowly, given that it is a highly risk-compliant company, so it might be difficult sometimes to get things done. - At some point, work might get repetitive

Frequently overdosed on process, compliance, bureaucracy. For individuals, extremely difficult to be promoted, pay increase not significant. if pay and promotion are motivations, this may not be right place.
