Pros

money is quite good for sector. It tdepends which team you work in. It will be interesting to see if this still continues in the present climate. Usual benefits of working for a large investment bank and good recognition within marketplace. Good opportunities to travel to various locations and also possibilities to relocate if you cant negotiate it with your manager. Good opportuinities for career progression if you work hard in the right areas

Cons

stress is quite considerable in some roles. Managers can be quite demanding as in any similar type of organisation.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
