Hang in there - still a good place to be

Pros

This is a global organisation undergoing some fairly radical changes right now but unlike many other financial organisations these are controlled and practical to sustain company stability. This is still a good solid employer in the UK if you are prepared to work hard. Nothing is perfect but when you look outside the industry I'd still rather be here than elsewhere. Renumeration packages are competitive and market driven. Benefits good.

Cons

Some workplace environments need a little work particularly the older buidings. It shouldn't be underestimated how important the little things are for maintaining morale

Pros

You can work from home sometimes. they have a gym on site. you meet a lot of people over there

Cons

too many politics, too long over times hours, seldom to have a work-life balance, you have to be lucky to belong to the right group of management to succeed. People were foreced to get low rating so that the company can kick out the person with no compensation.

Pros

good fringe benefits provided, decent compensation offer, sharp working time, not much OT, good promotion prospect, stable prospect. Highly recommended

Cons

I T is an extremely bureacratic banking firm, though with good prestige in the field, you can hardly get access to upper management without years of experience
