      Business Outlook

      Pros

      we have great kit, great people and a good understanding of strategy and governance however i feel struggle with the implementation

      Cons

      the off shoring is really slowing everything down, more often than not the on shore teams in the UK and US are picking up the work not completed by the off shore teams even though the on shore team sizes have been dramatically down sized

      Pros

      1. Work life balance is more possible to manage than in IB. 2. Industry salaries but on a higher than industry level. 3. Not a competitive environement between colleagues and relatively good job safety.

      Cons

      1. Very process driven and buraucratic organisation. 2. Career progression is not structured. 3. Very stong UK culture - if you are a foreigner that might considerably slow down your possibility to grow and be promoted. 4. Limited career opportunties
