A great place to be
A great place to be
Fantastic opportunities to grow.
Top technologies in use.
Plenty of people who are willing to help.
Enormous company - takes a long time to find the right contacts.
Lot of red tape on every step (standard for a banking environment).
Many teams are very hard to approach.
I had a serious bullying experience in one team by a team lead, who was protected by a head of department.

Lengthy interview process, ill-communicated, very positive at the beginning with a final interview that was passive-aggressive, as if they were finding reasons not to hire me. Overall, not a great experience, and I would hesitate to apply to this com
