Pros

This relates only to U.K. Private Bank and may be different in other parts: - very very human working hours - salary and benefits - working from home is a norm - not very stressful environment - strong graduate program

Cons

- issues and gender and ethnic diversity. Virtually no female or non-white senior managers - banking / internal systems are absolutely archaic, 10-15 years behind industry - approach to conduct / culture is bringing you back to 90s which, again, is no longer where the industry is at - senior management stuck in the same roles for years - lack of collaboration, very hierarchical, cumbersome and ineffective management structure - product proposition is very weak compared with competitors
