Pros

- City centre location, easy to reach. - Genuinely nice people in my experience. The people were not a problem, its the whole structure, set of rules and system they were operating in.

Cons

- Long hours, with overtime not only expected, it was actually neccessary to do the job. If you didn't have everything done you would be put under pressure and the only way to complete everything was to stay late. - Very stressful due to the above. - Absolutely zero training. Nothing. I've never encountered anything so poor with regards to training. Try to learn as you go along which was just not good enough as there were some complex parts to the job. - Rarely had enough staff. - Pathetic pay. This can't be stressed enough. Pathetic. Not far above minimum wage for a tough and stressful job. - Could not see any chance of progression. - Very high staff turnover. Overall, I would never recommend this to a friend.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
