Pros

Bob Diamond is a driven and competant leader that propels the business. This drives the support areas. Some IT areas also share this vision and are directly helping the business to grow.

Cons

Much is dependent on your individual manager. In some areas the habits of less competant middle of the road rivals is appearing.
