If you work in engineering at a bank, all your personal account trades probably have to be pre-approved by your supervisor. You're almost certainly restricted on the products you can trade - like, maybe even "you cannot trade single stocks". You probably have to keep your account with an approved broker, who will then send your account statements to the compliance team at your firm.
If you try and trade a name that's on a restricted trading list (e.g. because the investment banking part of your firm is working on a deal with them) then that is also going to be denied.
If you're wall-crossed (e.g. in possession of material, non-public information, even by accident) for a deal, you absolutely cannot trade in related securities - like, go to jail, do not pass go.
