Good Work, Disorganized Management

Cloud Architect • Current Employee

London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Great place to work. Good people. Interesting work. Less red tape than some other banks.

Cons: Upper middle management is disorganized and not pulling in the same direction. Suboptimal communication exists between BU and central teams. Personally, I suffered from being in a different location than the majority of the team (but that won't be the case for everyone, of course).
