RBS - A great place to spend time paying bills.

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

An employer who can be flexible when it suits them. The management can be very selective about who gets ahead. It depends on ho wmuch brown-nosing and ego massaging you want to engage in. They are not very responsive in taking feedback from people in their business who actually have somethign positive to contribute to improve the business model. Each department worries about their own targets and not how the ycan harness the power of the entire organisation to drive the business to increased profitability. They are very slow at responding to a quickly changing market and there is not a lot of room for an individual to drive forward with an idea.

Cons

Slow change process - always restructuring with no managerial consistency.

Great place for the long run, not so suited for those who are very dynamic or eager for new technology

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The RBS Group itself is huge, but the individual divisions and departments within can make it have the small company appeal, with people talking directly to each other and helping out each other with positive attitudes. As with most places, the people are a key factor in making the bank a great place to work. The salaries are never going to compete with the media industry for example, but the benefits are great with RBS using their size to get great discounts.

Cons

The stigma attached to banks (i.e. job for life) has proven to be true, and there are many people here for the long haul. The major downside to the bank is the lack of freedom to improve yourself technically due to the layers on control that quite rightly have to be imposed. Therefore, a large chunk of the workforce are great at their jobs but are limited in how technically knowledgeable they are.
