Pros

- Very good benefits - Generally generous salary and bonus packages (comes with a lot of inequality, though) - Good office location (central London) - Quite good work-life balance

Cons

- Staff / teams not ambitious - they simply don't care - Most staff there for money only, doing as little as possible - Morale is low - Incredibly inefficient processes and IT tools, and very little interest and willingness to change - Power struggle in top management - everyone is trying to achieve their personal goals instead of doing what is good for the company and staff - Constant re-structuring and redundancies while key problem areas are ignored or not addressed due to personal agendas - Very difficult to advance unless very good at politics - General environment is toxic and full of rumours
