Pros
- Free tea, coffee and water (Sparkling or Still) - Time off/ breaks: Due to countless “Townhalls” & meetings - Every year they strive to improve... on things that have been done 5-10yrs prior (no joke) - hindsight I guess - Erm, they are in tune with the latest jargon - same values/ beliefs/ principles, strategies, culture as next financial institution (the Be Agile, Collaboration, Client horse, Technology... Blue Steel!)
Cons
- Poor management (Esp middle management) - Mediocre long term staff: First jobbers, hanging on to pension, lazy, brain dead, no innovation, lack of ambition, lack of responsibility, lack of initiative - Bureaucratic - Negative environment - Slow moving - Boring ... I guess if you are looking for a mediocre ride and to collect your pension, with a hint of feeling sorry for yourself moaning at lunch... YAWN! Get on with it. SIDE NOTE: If your application is not getting through, this because the recruitment team make the decision before the hiring team even gets a sniff. Due to not so great recruiters that honestly know nothing about the field they recruit in and bias (no comment)... This is insider info/ the team I worked in lol.
