Pros

Great overall package, flexible working, diverse, lots of opportunities - everything you’d expect from a Tier 1 bank.

Cons

It hugely varies depending which division and location you work in. IT specifically in London is a shrinking environment because of cost compared to strategic growth regions like India and Poland, whilst Switzerland remains where all the real power is.
