      Pros

      The Group CIO seems to have a reasonable strategy. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      Lots of people have non-jobs and just float around opining on things but don't really do anything. Some senior leader are really poor quality but because there is still an old boys club so they will never be weeded out and are never held to account by HR. Bizarre approach to diversity and inclusion, over promote females and watch them fail as if to prove some point. They say the words about D&I but its superficial.

      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.
