solid Company

Analyst (Former Employee) - London East, Greater London - 19 September 2023

Great Company to learn and get exposure to all types of positions, with the possibility to move across departments. Good technology, unfortunately, through 2022 was a round of layoffs

Good people but stressful environment

Finance Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 10 September 2023

There is high demand to get work done quickly in a limited space of time, always working to deadlines and management goals, some purely egotistical. Expectations are high which is character building and you do learn a lot in a short space of time. The people make the place and collaboration is generally ok, however you do get the odd self serving senior manager which can affect the wider culture.

Little possibility of promotion

Good people but too much bureaucracy

Project Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 17 March 2023

Individually the staff were generally very skilled, nice people, but the business suffers from bureaucracy. Different areas, even ones that should need to work closely don't always communicate with each other.

Poor team structure

Early Careers Talent Acquisition Analyst (Former Employee) - London - 25 November 2022

Enjoyed meeting the targets set.Worked with wonderful stakeholders from other departments.Team structure and unreasonable workload caused anxiety and when i spoke up in the hope for support......my contract was terminated within 48 hours with pay.I had hoped for support as a contractor but I guess that was a fools dream.

Great work culture and kind people.

Technology, Data and Innovation Intern (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 23 March 2022

I interned there in the technology division and it was amazing. They include you as a part of their team and everyone is so nice. It is obvious they hire on the basis of diversity and how nice of a person you are as well as the smartest people. So I learned so much in a short amount of time. My manager cared a lot even though I was just an intern.

Competitive and results driven.

Director Sales (Former Employee) - Europe - 18 February 2022

Worked in the Asset Management division, and it was obvious that what I did was replicated by others within the group, with an emphasis on "winner stays on".... hence why other teams were downsized when I outperformed them.

Pros

paid extremely well

Cons

my role was special, I travelled a huge amount and spent at least 3 days a week away from home, working from 7am till past 9pm on a regular basis, sometimes past midnight... client facing.

Relaxed workplace but strange group dynamic

Software Developer (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 11 January 2022

Very relaxed 9-5 culture but siloed rather than global teams meaning specific locale based teams such as Russia got all the best work.There is a tendency for lone rather than team working.

Pros

Salary can be matched if you get a better offer

Cons

For tech the teams are skewed

Overall good place to work with lot of opportunities to grow.

Operations Manager (Current Employee) - London - 3 January 2022

Good place to work as management listens to staff feedback and try to take timely actions where possible. Bank doesn’t have state of art technology yet so staff often have to fix system related issues manually that some times causes frustration among the staff members.

Pros

Good benefit, Flexibility in working from home or office, Good support for staff mental and physical well-being

Cons

decision and execution of infrastructure change program takes ages.
