Pros

Support for flexible working. Great location. Offices are nice and facilities are newish. Pay is ok for lower level roles. Work with some good people. Gender inclusive parental leave policy. Free fruit and (bad) coffee. Lunch breaks?

Cons

Pay is sub-par for specialist roles. Workload can be excessive. Poor risk culture. Tendency for upper leadership to ignore cultural issues or push the accountability back on the afflicted. Don't practice what they preach around professional development and "fun" working environment. Very political. Technology in use is outdated or not fit for purpose. Any dip in profits against projection means that staff benefits are the first to get axed. 'Bean counter' style spend management. New employees from "sexy" backgrounds (such as start ups) are given preferential treatment over tenured employees.

Pros

Great culture, Flexibility, Nice building, Talented people, strong processes and always evolving tech stack.

Cons

Sometime work can be monotonous, if you are stuck in a team for long time. Finding opportunities to move across teams, you have to fend for yourselves, people leaders too busy or aloof to help.

Pros

What you put in is what you get out, smaller nimble bank - more opportunity for growth within company

Cons

Regional bank so limiting for opportunities outside of the company - not an easy transition
