Pros

Very nice office space. Free coffee and tea. They do invest in good projects.

Cons

You will be overworked and underpaid and then told to suck it up because they're an ethical comany with a good ethos and that should be good enough for you. The company is run by incompletence and apathy. People either learn to do the bare minimum or burn themselves out trying to fix the unending stream of issues. Management is old fashioned and bullying, more interested in grandiouse words than doing actual work. People's workloads are completely unmanagebale, being given 4-6 projects to do in one week. Plus you have to involve yourself in all extra-work activities because "community is so important". Every community meeting though they say "yes, we acnowledge that the workload is quite large" and that is that, that's considered addressed. All suggestions to improve practices to lighten the workload are shut down with nonsensical explanations like "it's hard to implement change in a regulated environment" or "we don't have as much funds as other banks". But the policies are backwards for no reason but management being resistant to change and not leading by example. The processes and practices in this company are genuinly the worst I have ever seen and I worked in the public sector before. There's no structure or logic to anyone's work. The turnother is mental. Middle management is entirely useless. The only way to meet deadlines is to work overtime and on weekends but you'll get an email saying you should look after your mental health.

Good people with a good message, though low pay is an issue

Pros

Lovely office, pleasant and supportive staff, ethical products and fun staff events and initiatives.

Cons

Pay is very poor for the sector. No bonuses even for the lowest paid staff. There was a pay review awhile ago that appeared to show the bank paid around the average wage for the sector, though it missed the fact that mainstream financial institutions top up their staff baseline pay with bonuses. This left staff feeling that the bank was taking advantage of their desire to work for an ethical organisation. Management need to either increase wages to compensate, or continue to steadily lose talented staff.
