Pros

The international graduates are given good exposure to top management and taken on loop with organizational level strategy and the way ahead. They are always in on the bigger picture of business due to frequent interactions with senior management. International graduate enter one grade higher than the starting grade (starting grade i.e. the lowest permanent employee level is G9, IG's enter at G8) and after the completion of 2 year program all IG's are promoted to the next grade (G7) together with permanent placement for which they get several options. There is a good amount of international mobility, both during the two year program and afterwards. Many IG's chose to work in a market different from their home countries upon completion of the program. The IG're are paid higher than the average employee on the same grade and well looked after generally during the program.

Cons

Once the IG program finishes, then its different for different people. Some find it hard and same as end of honeymoon period. Quite a lot of IG's leave the bank afterwards. A lot depends on where the graduates chose to work. Some markets are great and have good potential, others not so much. Also the IG's are used to good support during the program from HR and afterwards its no so forthcoming anymore which is a rather disappointment. The HR policies for common employees are rather 'not pleasant' and the IG's once they become part of regular core of employees feel the heat more . Apart from this the usual issue of long working hours and politicism and nepotism prevails in some markets atleast and its quite a downer for the younger lot.
