Pros

Good salary and benefits package, flexible holidays. Good office banter and community among the employees. Social & activity groups provide a lot of opportunities to network.

Cons

It's a bank not a software company. The work delivered by technologists is not valued, seen simply as a cost centre to be minimised. Focus on short-term solutions with no regrad for long-term impact. buzz word is low-hanging fruit, with no regard for how you eventually get the stuff at the top of the tree. If you can't easily put a figure on it, then it's not a real cost. Downsides that can't be easily moneterised are ignored.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
