Bob Diamond is a driven and competant leader that propels the business. This drives the support areas. Some IT areas also share this vision and are directly helping the business to grow.

Cons

Much is dependent on your individual manager. In some areas the habits of less competant middle of the road rivals is appearing.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
