Pros

Good benefits, ability to WFH, nice office, good location, Great social and charity committee who always get the office and their families involved. Christmas party at the Balmoral every year is a nice occassion to get dressed up.

Cons

Too many friendships between senior managers see people get promoted who don't deserve it. Poor team managers who offer no support or advice to progress. If you are GCB 6,7 or 8 expect to be treated like you truly are at the bottom of the pile. Poor communication about internal changes - all kept very hush hush and not passed down through management... (starting to see a theme here!)
