Pros

Large organisation, with varied businesses provide a wide spectrum of experience.

Cons

Senior management changes every few years, each time bringing new strategies (similar to the NHS). All previous plans are scrapped and we start over again, on a path already tried a few years ago. Middle management is a joke. They are political charlatans who care nothing for the company, the clients or employees. This fudgy lot play politics and favouritism, in every effort to maintain their position. The constant change along with self-serving management style leaves employees in a toxic work environment with no future at the company. Most leave fast and there is a high staff turnover - which cost your shareholders dearly.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
