Pros

Decent benefits package and hybrid working

Cons

Toxic, unproductive work culture in tech.. now dominated by short termism, personal gain, information hoarding and a lack of physiological safety. For a supposedly British bank, offshoring jobs (or onshoring via dubious visas and Indian body shoppers) says everything you need to know about a culture focussed on profit and personal gain over people. Teams are now hugely distributed, don't trust each other and have every move governed by clipboard wielding managers who play politics. Productivity, efficiency and innovation has never been so bad.
