Pros

Great, friendly people (for finance). Lots of opportunities to rotate roles and teams.

Cons

Was told we would have opportunities to join the Wealth Management division of the bank during our 4, 6 month rotations but had the structure of the programme changed during the period so that we were required to stay in Retail based roles for at least the first 3. Low pay relative to industry.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
