Pros

Decent work life balance Management understanding when you need time off Great benefits Depending on which group you work for, people are on average very respectful

Cons

Management communication not very transparent Some of the new people that have joined since the banking crisis are incompetent and unprofessional Culture has changed from an open, friendly and mobile type of environment to a more investment banking type of culture Offshoring of certain departments have led to inefficiencies and time consuming processes Constant restructuring of company Bureaucracy

Pros

Compensation seems to be above average.

Cons

On a personal level it is very clicky environment. Even within my own team, it feels divided but no one seems to really do anything about this.
