Pros

Good office location ( London) and salary

Cons

This was the worst workplace culture I have experienced. There was very little sense of community, collaboration, or support, with the overwhelming focus placed on output and performance above all else. The environment felt rigid and overly strict, making it difficult to feel valued as an employee. A negative culture appeared to be deeply embedded within the organisation. It was common to hear management and colleagues speak poorly about others when they were not present, which created an atmosphere of distrust and undermined professional relationships. Rather than encouraging teamwork and mutual respect, negativity and criticism often seemed to be accepted as the norm. There was also a noticeable lack of diversity, which further contributed to the feeling that the workplace was not particularly inclusive. If you are looking for a company with a strong culture, supportive leadership, and a genuine sense of community, this may not be the right environment for you.

Pros

New management is engaged, opening lines of communication and growing the branch -- budget, headcount, resources, etc. There is a feeling of positive change and motivation that was lacking under prior leadership. The momentum is exciting.

Cons

Here you must roll up your sleeves, but you also get to see and impact everything. Some people find this invigorating and empowering. Others find it frustrating as they want to focus on their narrower roles. If you prefer the latter, a smaller foreign branch (NBK or elsewhere) is not for you!
