Pros

The brand and global spread. Multiple business lines: Retail & Wealth Management; Private; Business; Global Banking & Markets. Massive investment in digital. Shallow reporting structure. Clear strategy.

Cons

Lower than average employee engagement. Poor HR support. Low balling on pay. Many admin functions devolved (e.g. HR, Procurement) with managers having to pick up the tasks. Big organisation that needs skill navigating and joining up. Business lines could be better joined up digitally.
