Pros

The people are some of the best I've ever worked with.

Cons

A divisive and vicious culture within the "Innovation and Digital" departments. Very poor compensation in comparison to other banks. Poor work life balance - a lot of the new management spoke against having overtime but kept asking people to work late while management went drinking every night. Blame culture A lot of mistakes were made and there was little confidence anyone learned.
