Pros

Offer some work-life balances which you couldn't find it in many local banks but it also depends highly on the projects/jobs you work on.

Cons

The management uses ungracious tactics to remove employees during economy downturn to avoid giving compensations for former layoffs or retrenchment. They would first appraised the employee unfairly with the lowest rating even though the employee didn't deserve the low rating. And that they would mention during the appraisal review session that your rendering of work in this company is insignificant and they have no better position to offer you to work in and if you choose to remain working in your current position, you'll be subjected to monthly performance scrutiny.

Pros

For the country I worked in, salaries were reasonable and hours were not long - 8-9 daily. Unlike other banks there were no layoffs during the trough.

Cons

Few opportunities for progression in the country I worked. Not much change or interesting projects going on. For employees in some departments boring work and low pay.
