Pros

There's patches of interesting things and good people, you have to seek them out but they are there. A lot of old dinosaurs though

Cons

Far too big to actually work. You'd think from the outside that an org of this size would be very impressive but when you get inside you realise that just because there's 80,000 people working here, doesn't mean the place is slick and efficient, in fact quite the opposite. The technology is also very backward, 5 years behind the last bank I worked at and they seem reluctant ti spend any money to change that. And don't get me started on "Matrix management" the dumbest thing I ever heard, just means you don't have a manager, everything decided by committee, its just great!!
