Pros
The bank may look very attractive to a job seeker due to its name, and salary offered. There are generous HR policy and flexible work arrangement options.
Cons
If you are focused on self growth, especially in terms of skills and self value, please reconsider an offer from the bank. My observation while working in this bank is that it is very good at " retaining" people, so lots of people you work with can be very "experienced" people who have been "staying" for a very long time in the hope to climb corporate ladders and often got their wish fulfilled after many years of "hard labour". So if you are perseverant enough to stay with the bank for many years, you might end up in a similar situation, where you will be given a more senior title than the one given to you when you joined, and some increment to your salary, but then that's it. If human is the biggest asset to a bank, then this bank's asset is aging faster than average. and then you can imagine the future.... Lots of people in management positions ( at least those I met) are not leaders but micro managers who gives detailed instructions on things that don't need it. They lack foresight or management skills of businesses and treat you as their means to achieve personal KPI, rather than an asset to the bank who have a career to take care of too. Lots of things that don't make sense are instructed to be done , whereas lots of things that add value are ignored by managers. there is not much technology being adapted, the way things are done are obsolete, which in a way protects those "very experienced " people. What they care about the most is respect and obiedience from you.
