      Corporate Services

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location is convenient, relaxed and friendly environment, remote working a plus.

      Cons

      Outdated end-user technology, if you are lucky enough to be given laptop it will be at least 3-4 years old and a brick. Corporate applications do not perform the functions required, managers are out of touch with the minimum industry standards to achieve work quality. They bleed their vendors and have no spend strategy.

      Pockets of greatness but complete lack of work life balance

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pays well compared to other banks for my position Good, competent junior and peer level colleagues and great team atmosphere in our area Varied work and good exposure as constantly need to get stuck in and roll sleeves up due to lack of resources Autonomy in day to day work

      Cons

      Extremely political, senior manager in our area is incompetent and bullies anyone that challenge the status quo Expected to work long hours consistently and be available even if on holiday Lack of resources, team is revolving door No development or career discussions, one to ones with manager is extremely as-hoc Lengthy interview process where role is sold as more senior than what you then end up doing in reality, potential for ruining your career
