Pros

Good locations for offices and staff benefits are pretty standard for the banking industry; most staff are competent and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Management are lacking in moral fibre - caring more about their own bonus than about their staff and the people around them. Minimal flexible working and offices and working practices are dated.
