Pros
There's a really wide range of job roles, so there's something to fit everyone's skillset. You really get the feeling you are doing a job that's making a difference - we're all working towards the same goal. UU cares about its employees and is working hard to develop the support it provides in areas such as health & wellbeing and learning & development.
Cons
Pressure from our regulators means we are sometimes restrained with what we would like to do from an innovation point of view - that means the pace of change can sometimes be frustrating.
