Pros

job security - the bank is way too big to be taken over by anyone, and while the occasional redundancies happen, senior management is generally benevolent towards the employees Salary is OK to good, but bonus is below par. Very little in the way of perks Reasonably good work / life balance.

Cons

Senior management is just not very good compared to other banks. They have all traveled the world and been in various posts which prevents them from acquiring any deep expertise, although they are nice, very well-read people.
