Pros

Well established bank, solid presence in UK and USA. A lot of investment in new AI solutions. Solid benefits and perks.

Cons

There has been a significant shift of roles from the UK and US to India, which has made internal progression increasingly challenging without strong networks. Decision‑making has being consistently short‑term focus for years; dealings with fires, rather that prevent them.
