Pros
The 10 paid bank holidays and the opportunity to work with some of my friends from past banks. That's all I can think of.
Kontras
The lack of real leaders, the entire organization is filled with cliques and silos, they don't offer true leadership training, they don't promote from within - instead, leaders just hire all of their friends from past banks; the benefits they advertise are difficult to utilize; we used to have a casual dress code and now we have to wear business/business attire; they took away all of our banked sick days (many of us lost 400 hours and we only accrue 7 days a year now). Tokyo is micro-managing and stifles our ability to perform at our best level. The main priority is on expense reduction and cutting jobs. Very toxic culture and morale is very low.
