Pros
Overall good company, strives to do the right thing for the employee Lots of opportunity due to breadth of business Expansionist policy through acquisition kept the company at the front of new markets
Cons
Taken a quarterly focus on numbers to extremes - no medium term planning. Every decision was either quarterly driven or alternatively long term, rather fluffy "strategic initiatives" Some very risk adverse people, especially in the Nottingham HQ and the more traditional credit risk core business units. Could be stifling.
