Pros

Great people, great office, hybrid work with only 2 days in the office. Pay similar to other banks in Glasgow. Great benefits and on site free gym. Good life-work balance.

Cons

Depending on the team, the projects can be quite boring. It's hard to get things done, lots of bureaucracy.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
