Pros
Financial strong Promote good working values and practices Work life balance. Generally good people
Cons
Stuffy old school culture (suit and ties etc.) not in line with modern working or even client expectations. Standard kit provided is not in line with market expectations. No idea of modern collaborative working spaces. New digital space in London was a coffee area and a couple of sofas! Lead by Canadas global view enforcing global models and frameworks which don't align in all marketplaces. All about the numbers and very metrics driven with a drive to measure everything rather than focus on what really adds value. Don't practice what they preach! Internal systems are very poor not user centric or joined up resulting in significant admin time for employees and the business itself. Therefore, overheads bigger than they should be. Much of the data entry, which should be automated, is still very labour intensive and manual resulting significant opportunity for human error, perpetuating employee administration and overhead.
