Vantaggi
-A big global brand, looks good on your CV -Relative international exposure in some work streams (depend on your projects) -Humane company culture, you won't hear alot about direct negative stories from people working here -benefits are quite decent with generous medical coverage and alot of annual leave -Most people are decent and nice including management on a personal and surface working level
Svantaggi
-Although it's a big brand in the finance industry, vs competitors it's still very backward and weak in terms of tech, proposition and product offerings -This largely depends on your team and direct management, but my experience is that it's a very complex and silo working environment (you'll find lot's of undercurrents and poor mentality of many workers with passive aggressive behaviour which is cultivated by poor inactive management) -Quite a few management are poor in terms of leadership ability and do nothing about it -The ranking and pay banding has poor consistency, if you're lucky, you go in with lesser experience but a high banding
