Pros

the people! some of your colleagues are amazing and the long timers have an amazing wealth of knowledge. Regular pay and holidays aren't bad once you've been there a while

Cons

Managers that cant manage, they employ their friends and rally the troops against people, if you stand up for yourself you're seen as a trouble maker. No support from line managers, they don't defend you against staff or analysts, you're undermined at every angle. When you defend yourself against the subordinate staff, whatever the 'issue' its ALWAYS your fault. Rubbish wages for the expected work levels and a general lack of support and consideration for middle management. Bullied while off sick with mental health issues caused by work bullying from B6's and B7 - constant barrage of calls at home and when a complaint was made by the health company nurse, it was ignored. I ended up leaving.

Interesting and challenging work that is relevant within the financial services sector. Colleagues are nice. Office space and facilities are ok.

Way too many employees that are undervalued and underpaid paired with employees that are indifferent to the bank or its success does.

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits. I like their support of the community and volunteering. Fpr the mpst part hey foster innovation and creative thought.

Cons

There is no defined career path. They intentionally put the onus on the employee to defined that. The group lead for my group is the worst, she promotes her cronies and never has a positive word to say to anyone. She is an appalling person and "leader"
