Pros

Some BRILLIANT individuals, totally committed Good external brand, though tarnished in recent years Good overall package Great location in Canary Wharf if you want to be in the buzz of the finance district Great shopping underground Great place for contractors and big consultancy businesses - a license to print money!

Cons

Poor internal computer systems, not integrated, wastes a huge amount of time Very poor senior decision making - takes forever to get approvals, and then decisions get changed / go back to the beginning and start again! Waste a SIGNIFICANT amount of money on projects which go round in circles and don't deliver
