Pros

Great view out of the office window on a sunny day and very good coffee from the onsite coffee bars

Cons

Incompetent management; pace of change is glacial; huge and impenetrable bureaucracy; very political - do what the bosses say or suffer the consequences. The civil service of the banking world which is stuffed with 'lifers' protecting their pensions and the status quo. Good people who aren't afraid to challenge leave quickly because it is so frustrating.

Pros

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
