Pros

Good work life balance. Offices are great after recent refit, perfect CBD location and on par or above the financial industry. Really rate the CRO.

Cons

Lots of office politics with the executive (all but one) seeming to only care about their own personal agenda, and promoting staff who align accordingly. The parent bank in the Netherlands maintains a tight control with little care for local staff, and sending seniors out to earn some stripes before heading back. Terrible staff morale, no stability or career learning and development, minimal investment in IT systems or people. Diversity and Inclusion is a joke - all talk, no do, seen as a tick box exercise with staff seeing straight through the HR led activities. Serious issues with supporting women in leadership - especially in country banking which is dominated by males.

Pros

Rabobank culture outside of M&A is positive. Can do travel exchange programs

Cons

Poor work culture, lack of mentorship, lots of leadership turnover and general inappropriate office environment towards women in the IB sector.
