Pros

1) Work-life balance is an achievable thing and as such it is suitable for people with family. 2) International transfer is plausible for all levels of employees. 3) Colleagues are quite helpful and friendly.

Cons

1) Systems are very backward. What makes it worse is the bank refrained from investing in due to stringent cost control. 2) Re-organisation takes place frequently in some back office teams, which affects the job stability. 3) There are a number of people who only do the minimum at their jobs. You can exert yourself to achieve more but it is hard to motivate others. 4) Can be more risk-taking in doing business.
