A lot of ongoing change and transformation, which can be challenging at times. That said, the constant change also brings opportunity to learn, grow, and shape the business — which is a big part of why it’s such an exciting place to be

Pros

Many colleagues are good people

Cons

I wouldn't contemplate working here if I were you. There's too many leadership problems. Obviously I don't know them all but here's my take: 1. There's no stability or coherent strategy. The organisation is bought by FirstRand one year and sold a couple of years later. I've heard the reasons (excuses) why but at the end of the day it's the leadership who have decided and agree on the moves they make. Yet it's not them being affected by this poor judgement after its all gone wrong. I'm seeing a lot good people adversely because of what I think is the poor leadership they're following. 2. As a result, they're making many people redundant or TUPE'd out. The announcement I witnessed was addressed to maybe 10% of the whole workforce and the CEO couldn't even be bothered to show his face. That just looks bad.
