      Not a bank you'd want to work in

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people to work with; management is supportive to help you move around

      Cons

      Poor promotion of learning; little to no employee perks; opportunities to move around are available but it is not advertised and you have to spend a lot of effort to look for it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working in some teams Great office - 1 Churchill Place Go in at the right level and it's a good place to work - you can progress Graduate scheme people are well thought of in industry

      Cons

      Lack of growth - Retail Bank is stagnant - and its all about managing a portfolio - no NPD ITS ALL ABOUT REPORTING - decks, decks, decks, MI, MI, MI, (yawn) Lack of proffesional people there- too many people who have worked their way up to a B6 level with no ideas, no passion and are just corporate bods A lot of Americans - by this I mean Americans are brought over on huge relocation packages at B7 level - why not internally develop/promote

      Mediocre learning, you can learn more and get paid more elsewhere.

      Pros

      Access to analyst reports was nice, and there's access to some information that you can read. You can print free books offline to read. Also, the job was very easy, no real stress, just a lot of guys around you who are stressed. I finished my work in 1-2 hours every day, spent the rest of the day reading, and still got props for "working late". If you are looking for a stable job in technology, go ahead and do this. Innovation, technical awesomeness, satisfaction, cutting edge technology? Look elsewhere.

      Cons

      No real good mentors for learning good coding practices, nobody to help you out on math, most managers I spoke to weren't too smart. This is one of the worse banks for benefits and for knowledge, hence the reason most ppl move out to better banks.
