Pros

- Good work life balance at least in the department where I was - Some teams have talented individuals

Cons

I don’t recommend working here. - The company shows a clear hiring and favoritism bias toward candidates from India and Pakistan, which makes non‑South Asian employees feel excluded and overlooked. - Career progression is essentially nonexistent unless you’re part of the inner circle — promotions and opportunities appear to go to friends rather than being merit‑based. - Backstabbing and office politics are very common (national sport in this Bank); teamwork and transparency suffer as a result. - People will also go to great lengths to hide information or withhold support if they think it protects their job, which makes collaboration and getting work done much harder. Advice to jobseekers: If you’re from outside the company’s favored groups or you prioritize clear advancement and a collaborative culture, consider other options.

Pros

Good bonus but only if your job performance ratings are A or if you are a favorite of some higher up

Cons

No clear operating procedures for branch management, the Compliance and Audit Dept are making rules every day. So if a particular incident happens then they will review and incorporate in the SOP
