Pros

Location of office Pay and benefits Relatively stress-free environment Bob Diamond is a good leader

Cons

Too UK focused. The UK unit is smaller and makes less profit, come on guys! Too many policies and procedures that are not maintained or owned. Can drive you insane. Employee performance review process is why top talent wont stay.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
