Pros

You can do almost nothing in your daily work, and managers will think you are a genius. If you need a place to go because you need to zone out and just chill, Nordea is actually pretty good. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Total incompetence in the digital field. Nordea is a company run by former bank salesmen (they also call themselves advisors), who proceed to rank up inside the bank until they decide they want to be in charge of something they have no competences in. Everything in Nordea is about seniority and rank. For such a big company it's hillarious the incomptence that can be hidden by fancy suits and expensive lifestyles. If you want to work with anything digital, don't go here. "Innovation" or "that's new and fresh" is doing what other companies have been doing for ten years. Incompetent management layers hide behind "new strategy" "agile process" "more speed" - it's all made to hide their incompetence. Nordea is an incompetent bureaucracy nightmare.

Pros

If you are 50 with 3+ kids, dog and mortgage, you should definitely work for Nordea.

Cons

There is no performance based renumeration, but everyone can be awarded with "senior, expert of chief" title. Technology is outdated and customers are exposed to systems failures on daily basis. Even consultants cannot make a difference. Employees average age is high and most of them lack proper education and motivation to accept that world is changing towards digital communication.
