Pros
Good work-life balance. Not overly demanding. Laid back culture. People care or at least pretend to care about their teams and co-workers. Managers are generally pretty protective of their teams when it comes to workplace politics and other issues. Senior leadership was for the most part understanding of the impact of Covid on employees. Good brand name to work at. Cares about diversity and inclusion.
Cons
Incredibly low salaries compared to any other bank (by a significant margin, 50% in some cases), and the annual pay raises of 0-1% don't even keep up with inflation so you effectively deteriorate your earnings the longer you stay here. This is true across departments and teams. I put up with this for years but when I finally resigned due to persistently low salary, I was first offered a pay raise and promotion to stay, which was nice, but after I turned that down, my group MD insulted and threatened me and used scare tactics to attempt to convince me not to resign...
