Business Outlook
Pros
It's a large and stable employer, which at the time offered decent pension and benefits. There's a large number of different types of jobs available, in locations up and down the country, and it seemed relatively easy to move. The salary was half decent, if not spectacular. 10% bonus guaranteed to all employees.
Cons
Some incredibly incompetent middle and senior management, who have steered the bank to the brink of bankruptcy. Pension was reduced in value for new employees, pay is unspectacular. Most of the jobs seemed mind numbingly boring, little real development work done in the UK anymore, all more or less outsourced.
