      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Modern working arrangements, including remote work and flexible hours. 2. Competent and understanding management. 3. Endless training and development opportunities. 4. Relaxed yet professional working environment. 5. Mature tech stack and exposure to bleeding edge tools and techniques. 6. Best cafeteria in the industry, by far! 🥐

      Cons

      1. Slow career growth, but offset by good bonuses and decent annual salary increases. 2. Inconsistencies in culture across teams. 3. Competitors are better when it comes to core banking services and digitization. 4. Frequent leadership changes at the top levels mean that business structures and reporting lines get shuffled quite often.
