Business Outlook
Pros
Strong global brand, job stability, and generally capable colleagues. Bonus can be decent in good years.
Cons
Low base salary relative to responsibility, with a heavy reliance on bonus. Resistant to modern technology and ways of working. Slow, top-down decision-making limits autonomy. The environment can be quite political, and progression does not always feel merit-based. In some teams, management style is harsh, particularly towards junior staff, with pressure that can feel excessive rather than constructive. Instances of dismissive or unprofessional behaviour are not always addressed consistently.
