good brand, some good people in front office

Cons

incompetent middle management, the majority of whom are dangerously underqualified to work in any position of authority within banking inadequate processes for almost everything blame culture - managers will not take responsibility for anything, backstabbing, always pass the buck to someone else politics are machiavelian - performance reviews in particular I could go on and on - i completely agree with previous review - the worst place I have ever worked

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
