Pros
A few years under a fair and transparent manager provided a supportive work environment with more promising career opportunities - a nod to the individual department/team(s) setting that tone. Some good spots must remain but do your due diligence. Various re-orgs and roles revealed a very different experience in other areas. - Opportunity to work on large and complex business projects - Competitive pay and benefits for financial services
Cons
Inconsistent and disappointing workplace culture - unfortunately depends too much on where you are who you work for. -Good old boy network and cliquey; there is much room for improvement in diversity, inclusion, creating a culture of respect for all colleagues. -Hierarchical structure and "who you know" culture keeps talent buried in the org and erodes trust. -HR continues to push moving laterally vs. up - promotions can take years or never happen for some
