Pros

Still in business (after 300 years) Still hiring (occasionally) Still has loyal clients (despite service and reputation issues) Loads of compliance and "business management" jobs

Cons

Poor reputation due to recent revelations Deaf & blind middle and senior management Middle management churn (every 6 months) Generally high staff turnover (due to employees leaving, not redundancies) Too many generals, too few soldiers Obsessed with internal meetings Poor official communication - grapevine is primary source of information on everything Senior management - seem allergic to direct interaction with rank and file
