Pros

All the up sides you'd expect from a major international bank. Beautiful offices, flexible working policies, good benefits and salary and a CEO and board who say all the right things

Cons

Weak leadership, lack of vision, total inertia in trying to deliver change, overly bureaucratic, board opinion and statements do not translate to the middle management team or daily operations

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
