All the up sides you'd expect from a major international bank. Beautiful offices, flexible working policies, good benefits and salary and a CEO and board who say all the right things

Cons

Weak leadership, lack of vision, total inertia in trying to deliver change, overly bureaucratic, board opinion and statements do not translate to the middle management team or daily operations
