Pros

Decent benefits package, although salary is rather small compared to what they require of you. You get to get some good people and learn good things if you are inclined towards it. A good ramp for much better and greater places to work.

Cons

- A company without direction, constantly trying to reinvent itself and mostly failing. The top management and current CEO are rather easy influenceable and always lose the focus to say the least, chasing wild geese instead of chasing concrete results - too much, WAY too much bureaucracy at so many levels it makes you head spin. Very slow to take important decisions, - most important departments have been changing heads faster than some people change socks, that of course is self-explanatory. When they do get some person bent on doing some radical and much needed changes, they soon fire him/her, because the old geezers in CPH don’t want to hear how they’ve wasted so many years, they rather live in complacency - compensation-wise, there were many-many promises over the years, of course unfounded at least 1/2 the time that led to big disappointments and waves of good people leaving in droves, leaving the mediocre behind, the same mediocre staff eventually creeping up to some decision-making position in CPH thus completing the never-ending circle. In Saxo Bank being 15-20 years in the bank, they start putting you on a pedestal like a demigod, regardless of skills, rather lack of you might possess
