Pros

You're surrounded by incredibly smart people doing fascinating work. Pay is very good for the public sector, but modest compared to comparable jobs in financial services. Supportive and collegiate culture. It's a secure job for life.

Cons

Penny-pinching has led to hot-desking and cheap (but very secure) IT systems so you may spend a lot of time restarting your computer.

Pros

You have a great work life balance, even when working from home. Even though the bank is "the old lady", it is moving with the times with it's policies and mentality.

Cons

Central London is expensive, so making you wage cover the cost of living would be tricky alone.

Pros

-Learning from many other experienced people -Can get involved if you are interested -Supportive and collaborative environment

Cons

-Slow-paced sometimes -Can often feel bored in the beginning (partially due to WFH)

Pros

Solid institution, good benefits, great location, excellent work-life balance

Cons

There are very few career opportunities. Not ideal for ambitious people
