Business outlook
Pros
Salaries can be above average, low work pressure, apparently high holiday allowance
Cons
A lot of people are getting hired with different job specs compared to the actual work that they will be doing. There's a very high micro management : every day off needs 3 approvals with some forced to give up days at the end of the year. Since I started I've never had one catch up with my manager, there aren't team building initiatives and this reflects the poor communication and conflicts between colleagues. There's no budget for training which means that no one cares about your career progression. Many other banks offer flexible working but here only managers are allowed to work from home.
