Pros

Fairly decent compensation and benefits, although below the standard for financial services companies of this size.

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment with bullying, ageism and favouritism. Colleagues can only get ahead if they suck up to management and act as brainless yes men. Colleagues are discouraged from expressing their professional opinions and are punished or strategically removed from the company if they do so. Corporate games and politics come first, certainly above customer experience and quality of work outputs. Clueless and unethical middle management. No professional development or career advancement opportunities. Extremely poor work-life balance.

Pros

Supportive senior managers, culture has greatly improved. New CEO is superb, engaging and energetic. Strategy now delivering results and likely to get a head of steam. Good teamwork & friendly people.

Cons

limited career progression, constant change & lack of stability - employees focus on the here and now, always waiting for the next round of "right sizing" is very stressful and leads to high staff turnover. Can be a challenge to progress if you are not in the "magic circle".
