      Pros

      Global Network, well known brand

      Cons

      Extremely political and just unnecessarily complicated, it's like working for the government, full of paper-pushers and nine-five-ppl without any ambitions to actually accomplish business or to adapt to the changing banking environment, making only slow to non progress, the bank has a huge principal-agent problem, this is sadly true for all management levels.

      Absolutely no loyalty

      Fund administrator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits, ability to WFH, nice office, good location, Great social and charity committee who always get the office and their families involved. Christmas party at the Balmoral every year is a nice occassion to get dressed up.

      Cons

      Too many friendships between senior managers see people get promoted who don't deserve it. Poor team managers who offer no support or advice to progress. If you are GCB 6,7 or 8 expect to be treated like you truly are at the bottom of the pile. Poor communication about internal changes - all kept very hush hush and not passed down through management... (starting to see a theme here!)
