Pros

Working in a very exciting space and along with many talented and creative business. The Bank is growing and is having major success in the UK and Europe.

Cons

As the Bank is in growth phase, it is all hands on deck and a very heavy work load. As they are still establishing themselves they do no have very well defined policies and procedures.
