      Toxic culture with unfair promotions and low pay

      Pros

      Nice people within the teams

      Cons

      Salary isn’t in proportion to what other banks pay You are only promoted if your face fits or if you are friends with someone higher up Culture of bullying by management, I have worked in several teams and see this every time Constant redundancies and no regard to people feeling on edge constantly

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work life balance, interesting projects, they give you a good chance to realize and grow and gain interesting experience, good people

      Cons

      I would say that sometimes management is just bad and it's very very hard to get in role promotions even if you perform and get outstanding performance reviews but it depends on the team ,in some teams it's very hard but in others it's much easier
