Pros

1 - Good chance of internal mobility, Company doing well 2 - Can add good brand name on your CV 3 - They love to promote diversity (mostly for PR reasons). This could be a great place for the women.

Cons

1 - The QR Mumbai team has a bit political environment. Variable, promotion significantly depends on factors other than your performance. 2 - Fixed pay is significantly below the market rate. That makes the variable pay look good in terms of percentage. 3 - Work nature can get frustating, operational and less quant like. The role advertised would be state of the art R&D. The real work can be quite different from expectations. 4 - Management is sleeping and unaware of reality and without a care for the employees. 5- Work life balance is not great. The culture is to stay in office or WFH for long hours either working on projects or on management committees trying to make your name visible. The number of hours don't justify the compensation. 6 - No chance of relocation to business centers like London, NYC. 7 - Frequent cost cutting measures (cutting the office cabs, office overtime meals, etc. to save few tens of thousands rupees)

Pros

I loved working at Chase in Home Equity and First Mortgage. Decent pay, decent managers that were supportive.

Cons

The business credit card department is an absolute nightmare - avoid! We got moved around due to housing market changes. Understandable but they also made it seem like it was going to be the best thing that could happen to us. Told us we wouldn’t be answering calls and then it was full blown call center. It was the literal worst. Most unorganized, unsupportive, dumpster fire of a department.
