Vantaggi
Some genuinely good people who want to do what's best for the customer. Also some very clever and forward thinking people working here, shame that the company squeezes this out of people and instead encourages them to focus on politics not productivity!
Svantaggi
What started out as a good bank under Smith went terribly wrong. As they say, a fish rots at the head and most of senior management is more concerned about their own careers than what's good for shareholders and staff. Possibly the most political organisation to work for in Australia, where your future career path is determined by your personal connections rather than abilities. Have seen many talented people demoted / exited / devalued while skill-less, but smooth talking individuals excel. As one senior manager told me 'its all about perception'. Shocking way to run a financial institution and one which usually ends in ruin. A 'yes' culture where bad news is frowned upon so senior management only hear 'positive vibes'.
