Pros

Good health insurance Salary isn't so bad Nice co-workers Good location

Cons

Stressful environment, no training or supervision given No career progression, some people who work for over 3 years in the company earn 1,000 while those who just joined earn 1,100. Complete disgrace, this was already raised with workers union but no action taken More than 90% with whom I worked have never studied finance nor went to good university. Basically, they take those with bad education and offer salary they would not be able to get anywhere else and progress these people. As it is expected they stay for company for years earning just a little over 1,000 all their lives. Old technology that works slowly, procedures are outdated. Repetitive work, not interesting at all. If you want decent career and respect don't work here

Pros

- annual leave is slightly more than some banks; - flex benefits

Cons

- poor culture and politics; - management that closes its ears to negativity & staff requests for assistance; - DIY culture: need to solve problems? Find the solutions yourself to get it done. - Poorly driven projects with people driving them not even sure of what they are doing & a couldn’t be bothered attitude as they are not the ones doing it. - Team leaders bargaining over headcount & tasks; typical of those at a marketplace. - Poor increment below market rate

Pros

Since it's a European Bank, the summer schedule is relatively lax. It's steady workflow throughout the year and the lower level employees are usually great to work with.

Cons

Management of Legal Department is horrendous. It's been a revolving door for years and management doesn't seem to care. Pay has been stagnant, the workplace is toxic due to turnover and the executive departments of the bank are always trying to cut corners/resources from an already depleted department.
