Pros
Good work life balance Nice people
Cons
Under investment in support teams, meaning commercial roles are left to carry out a lot of administrative work relative to other organisations. Too much focus and attention on internal vanity projects. The easiest way to progress is by spending a minimum amount of time carrying out actual banking work and instead be involved in project teams for initiatives that go nowhere. Ultimately expertise and track record are undervalued. For a sector focused bank, they are happy to move middle management to any sector or team regardless of relevance. This can leave gaps in risk oversight.
