Experience level: Junior

Good on CV, sub-par work and work environment
Pros: -Nice modern office
-Industry standard benefits (medical, pension, gym etc.)
-Good name to have on CV, exposure to big clients
Cons: -Surprisingly poor systems and technology, filing system especially is extremely poor and combined with poor practices big quality and risk issue.
-Lower quality, responsibility and work profile at manager grade than elsewhere, good work seems to concentrate at senior manager and above with managers tasked with associate level work.
-Poor work culture of lack of accountability and blame pushing. Senior staff will refuse to make a decision even on simple matters which can lead to frustrating loop of trying to find someone to make a decision ("check with X person" is a favorite phrase for many). When something does go wrong focus seems to be on shifting blame rather than resolving the issue.
-Most work is outsourced to India. Good in theory as mundane tasks can be done offshore but what ends up happening is onshore staff spend most of their time managing India either endlessly chasing for work or correcting their mistakes, work standard of offshore teams is pretty poor.
-Other than annual mandatory training like money laundering there is absolutely no technical training offered which is a big impact on staff capability.
