Pros

1 - Absolutely no care if you perform, so if you are lazy, sick all the time, you will be fine. 2 - Can play the gender or minority card and you can get a stable job without any results required. 3 - Great opportunities if you are fresh grads and fine to bring coffee to people who pretend working. 4 - Can come around 9h30am, do lunch break for 2 hours, go to gym for 1hour and finish around 5pm. 5 - As far as you suck up to 1 or 2 MD you don't need to speak to anyone below D-Level or in any other department as inclusivity is not meant for untermensch below VP level, you have the recreational club for that.

Cons

1 - Zero merit driven, it is pure politics and the right demographics, 2 - Management only trained to cut costs and have no clue about the market they service, 3 - Constant turn over of managers (in 5 years, I had 7 managers who had no clue of what they were doing), 4 - Zero Bonus 5 - Every quarter, witch hunt to fire your colleague sitting next to you, you can imagine the great team work environment 6 - Technology is all outsourced so you have thousands of applications/databases/intranets/MyDB and thousand of tools for the same purpose, but without any support. 7 - You re pretty much left by yourself, no-one has interest in helping each other anyway. 8 - The non-sense communication level is extreme: you will see opportunistic travels for young grads who are on the digitalisation or AI or virtual banking to attend useless conferences, whereas RTB team managers will have no opportunity to meet their team mates they have been working for 4years. 9 - You will work with dinosaurs who politically saved their jobs for the last 15years, so new joiners are only there to fix their urgent issue and go, not to become a new competitor in the survivor game.

Pros

Not much beyond the usual, people are generally ok to work with.

Cons

-They cut rollover vaca days (use them or lose them) -Takes 5 years to be fully vested -Comp tends to be on the low end and no salary transparency (person next to you with same title probably getting paid more than you) -Bonuses are a joke (the attitude from managers is be grateful you have a job) -Senior management leaving in droves, causing major disruptions -Massive restructuring, morale is terrible as many colleagues are losing their jobs in the next few months -Half the stuff that you will work on will never get implemented or used because there are no resources. Pretty much every one is looking for a job elsewhere.
