Pros

High Profile name for your CV, reasonable pay, nice office

Cons

Welcome to the planet Barclays. Don't expect to do anything without express permission (but you're not allowed to actually speak to that person). Decision making is only for the C-suite, not the minion. Spend half your week in meetings, but you must have prepared and shared what they're still calling "papers" in advance of every meeting. (Says it all). An energy suck. Don't go there.
