If your team is good, you get on well with your manager, and you don't work too close to the money, things can be really relaxed and sane. Honestly, not a bad way to live.

5 days in the office is inexplicable. The Bank Street office is pretty lame, and the canteen is too small.

They don't really develop talent, in that they just fire people and hope they work their way back into the correct role. The whole place is quite soulless.
