Pros

Some good work and projects, generally good people - a recent uptake in some interesting technology, offers the potential for experience and progression.

Cons

>Executive leadership are out of touch with their employees and the job market in general. >Obsession with 'being in the office' and a very limited flexible working framework. >The bank refuses to pay overtime, despite demanding frequent weekend and out of hours work, the on-call service is also unpaid.
