Pros
There are some strong and skilled people in structured finance from whom you can learn from. Growth Capital is also strong but can talk to you from a high horse, and ride roughshod over credit.
Cons
Lots of rag dolls on every level in the organisation. Discrimination by nationality is no problem, and some line managers get away with it dressing it up as behavioural issue with employee. Cronyism is huge and overrides superior skills, experience, and education. If you kiss up to the right person you'll get the job no matter how unqualified you are for it. Internal interviews are a farce with the final outcome decided before it starts. There are some people with huge egos but no substance behind in the Large Corporates Front Office Team. Systems are very clunky but no one dares to escalate it to the appropriate level.
