Pros

There are some really smart people and nice people, especially those who have moved over from Lehman with advancement opportunities depending on what group you're in to move ahead.

Cons

It was too bureaucratic with little transparency into the situation and the company seemed quite cheap compared to competitors

Bob Diamond is a driven and competant leader that propels the business. This drives the support areas. Some IT areas also share this vision and are directly helping the business to grow.

Cons

Much is dependent on your individual manager. In some areas the habits of less competant middle of the road rivals is appearing.
