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 occasion to get dressed up.

Cons

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

Advice to Management

Look after the people at the bottom who are actually doing the BAU tasks. Too much talent is lost because of poor management.
