      Pros

      Large global bank with potential for mobility

      Cons

      The culture and half hearted approach of management (especially Markets compliance) provides a very poor working environment. Everyone is scared of losing their jobs, therefore nothing changes, no challenge to the status quo. If the role will improve your CV go in with your eyes open to a very political and passive aggressive environment.

      Pros

      Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

      Cons

      At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
