Pros
- Good benefits (health insurance, dental insurance, loans and credit low rates for employees, mobile phone) - Good working times (8:25 to 16:55 officially) - Wide range of roles and activities available
Cons
- Too much bureaucracy: yes, it's a bank, but every project is 10 days actual work and 15 (not joking) days for documents, forms, checks, authorizations and so on. Crazy - Out of control: internal costs are absolutely incredible. I saw project that could be completed in 5 dies sold for 150.000€. I hear people calling project of 1 million euros small projects. Examples, but that's the normality. Wastefulness is everywhere. - Far management: managers are too focused on top-down actions and initiatives, often not coordinated, heavy and spread as super urgent. - Low level of education: many courses are available but often focused on very old technologies and standards. Budget cutting made very hard to take part to courses, anywhere. - Low career opportunities: it is due to the size of the company, of course. It moves very slowly. You can grow up only if someone above you retires, even if you the genius of your time. Talent scouting is very poor. - Money: wage is good for newly graduated people or young persons. It takes ages to get to a hierarchical level when the amount of money is worth the effort. - No values, very poor collaboration between different teams. The approach is almost always competitive
