      Don't.

      Pros

      Big name recognition. I can't come up with more, but there is a 20 word minimum. ATM onsite? Restrooms were usually well maintained. The parking lot never swallowed my car.

      Cons

      Management was generally incompetence moved around. 50 levels of bureaucracy to get an expense of $25 paid, but they don't understand regulations. Please see also "HSBC fines". No pay increases or bonuses anymore. Make staff work in remote and undesirable locations. Mass layoffs. Everything smells of fire and brimstone. I think my boss was the biblical Satan.

      Pros

      The brand name looks good on the CV. Good work life balance. Work environment in most offices is warm and welcoming.

      Cons

      Growth is painfully slow. Compensation package generally below industry standard. Outdated systems and infrastructure.

      Pros

      The bank is pretty slow and you can get away without working too hard.

      Cons

      Most people feel like they have given up against the bureaucracy and the excessive layers of people you have to go through to get things done. This fosters a culture of underperformance.
