Pros
Some of my team members are great The location is convenient The pay isn't the worst in London, but isn't great for finance in general The building has a gym
Cons
Leadership is pushing AI, freezing hiring, and lacks vision or leadership skills in general. Gone are the days where you were expected to do 1.5-2 roles in one for "development", now you are expected to do 3 roles + find a way to integrate AI to "help" despite the cost of AI far exceeding a junior hire which would benefit your team, the junior hire, the bank, and the general economy. Leadership demands instead of leads. They have expectations without resourcing or even understanding what they want (e.g. AI).
