Pros

Good work life balance with decent pay. Facilities provided are really good. Recommend to work with it

Cons

Lack of learning. Work is simply a copy paste job in product control. Quite monotonous job with minimal learning. You can only learn on your own

Pros

The systems and organisational detailing is incredible. Gives opportunity to accomplish with neccessary support. Global functional model promotes knowledge sharing. Conservative bank.

Cons

Promises diversity but is a upper echelon British club. You have to work 12 hours and network like crazy if you don't have a godfather.

Pros

- generous time off program - global scale provides ample career opportunities - supportive of remote work and work-life balance

Cons

- typical politics and "who you know" circle of things to get to where you want. although they revamped performance management, the process is still jaded - typically, those who rise to the top are the "talkers" vs. the "walkers" - management decisions constantly made under committees representing both local and global management lines (Band 2 or higher) which overburden and slow processes to a crawl. Mid-level management decisions have been stripped or replaced. - unrealistic expectations to carry out unprecedented changes at "zero tolerance" levels
