Pros

Lots of good people, nice culture, potentially lots of interesting things to work on

Cons

Very product focused environment.

If you're not on a product team and not one of the first 20 engineers, you'll struggle to progress Lack of direction from senior management.

Other teams can't make up their minds but you'll be forced to chase their whims anyway Back office teams are under resourced and over worked, and do not have time to invest in improving their systems Doesn't do competitive salary reviews

Advice to Management

Get a grip on progression and salaries.

Stop neglecting the teams who actually run and operate the bank. Stop shaming teams at the all hands for not improving processes when it is your resourcing decisions that have led to developing this backlog of improvement work which needs doing.
