      Pros

      Location of office Pay and benefits Relatively stress-free environment Bob Diamond is a good leader

      Cons

      Too UK focused. The UK unit is smaller and makes less profit, come on guys! Too many policies and procedures that are not maintained or owned. Can drive you insane. Employee performance review process is why top talent wont stay.

      Pros

      Good regional exposure. People you work with tend to be really smart, so there's no fooling them. Good learning experience.

      Cons

      Lean staffing. One person does several roles.

      Pros

      I noticed the firm is good with allowing employees to take time of for training

      Cons

      -I was in Credit Risk and it was the most boring job that I ever had -Weird British culture - certain employees feel that they could take credit for your work or that the credit should be divided evenly. In reality, these employees did not do nearly as much work as the others did on the team. -If you did a good job on a project that others lack the technical skill sets to complete and moreover, if your work is deemed usable by the team (speaks for itself about the quality), be prepared to be put down by jealous co-workers -Jealous co-workers will nitpick to find the smallest details that are wrong with your work and magnify them to make you look bad -Generally speaking, the technical skills(basic excel/Visual Basic) of AVP/above levels are slightly above zero -If you're a female, everything is a bit easier and people are less likely to get on your back about your lack of technical skills -EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PAY
