Pros

- Great training provided. Further learning is encouraged. - Good benefits - Good diversity initiatives - Depending on manager and team - very open culture. Senior management can be easily approached. - You are given responsibility for your work and allowed to manage it.

Cons

- Very London driven. Teams in Asia just tend to be the ones implementing someone else's vision. - Quality of technical work is not high. Mainly system patching and maintenance. - High pressure environment. Need to make sure fingers are never pointed at you. - Too much process driven. Unnecessary to a large extent.
