A 200+ year old bank needing to adapt to stay relevent
Pros
Working for a big bank! Usually well paid positions, especially if you bring a lot of value. For the many people who are happy to have a job, you can stay there forever. Relatively good people, great company perception and commitment to quality
Cons
Working for a big bank! The layers of management is debilitating. No matter how much they continue to innovate to compete in todays digital landscape, if they dont remove the layers of mgmt, not enough will change. They will die a slow death like many banks will over the next 5-10 years. Company is so big, your essentially a number. You can do great things, and be part of a great team, but at the end of the day, they'll send you a nice email for your 5, 10 , and 20th work anniversary. When you work in an environment like this, if you leave, you were just a number. Like you never worked there. Its a weird feeling, and i know it exists at many places, but the bigger it is, the worse...
