Pros

benefits, bonus and very good locations

Cons

The latest wave of changes and reorgs across the bank allowed incompetent and young executives to hold key functions and use their power. They take unpopular decisions who affect many layers of people. You are treated like a number and constantly fear for your job. Total lack of trust and respect across many levels. The sense of diversity and inclusiveness is totally false and no need to dig deep to see that this it is just a hype. Turn around is higher than before and the new wave of hires is very poor. Many of the senior management roles are held by connected people who work for the bank many years. They are constantly shuffled around and get promoted because of their long tenure and loyalty to the bank not leadership and fit for the role. Many of them are fully disconnected with the current roles and responsibility and create constant havoc. All of the management roles are posted externally just for compliance but they are mostly filled internally. The new leadership is interested in cheap labour and outsourcing it's at the top of their agenda. This is all happens while the bank was hit by bad press in 2017 due many failures to provide basic needs to the customers (internet banking). Almost everything is decided without consulting the teams or the mid management and comes on you by surprise. This mostly leads to mediocre results and disappointment. They recently got hooked to many industry buzz words like "agile transformation"," devops" and others but barely understand the concepts and how to roll them in the organisation. All in one if you consider yourself talent, search for better bank or company who really treats you with respect and will listen to you.

Pros

Wish there was some to share.

Cons

Working in Talent Acquisition here was one of the most frustrating experiences of my career. The culture felt incredibly toxic, with management frequently creating an environment where employees’ concerns were dismissed or reframed in a way that made them question their own experiences. Communication lacked transparency, expectations changed constantly, and support from leadership was minimal. Hiring decisions often felt inconsistent, with factors outside of merit seemingly carrying more weight than skills and qualifications. As someone in TA, that made it difficult to feel confident in the integrity of the recruitment process. Management created a culture of fear rather than collaboration. Feedback was rarely constructive, accountability was one-sided, and employee well-being did not appear to be a priority. Morale was consistently low, turnover was high, and it was difficult to see a path for growth.
