Pros
Good salary and benefits package, flexible holidays. Good office banter and community among the employees. Social & activity groups provide a lot of opportunities to network.
Cons
It's a bank not a software company. The work delivered by technologists is not valued, seen simply as a cost centre to be minimised. Focus on short-term solutions with no regrad for long-term impact. buzz word is low-hanging fruit, with no regard for how you eventually get the stuff at the top of the tree. If you can't easily put a figure on it, then it's not a real cost. Downsides that can't be easily moneterised are ignored.
