Pros

Great view out of the office window on a sunny day and very good coffee from the onsite coffee bars

Cons

Incompetent management; pace of change is glacial; huge and impenetrable bureaucracy; very political - do what the bosses say or suffer the consequences. The civil service of the banking world which is stuffed with 'lifers' protecting their pensions and the status quo. Good people who aren't afraid to challenge leave quickly because it is so frustrating.
