I worked at SG before and I'm currently at NatWest. My experience was way better at SG. They were introducing some changes when I left, like 4 days WFO, but I'd still pick SG over NatWest based on my project experience.
The only major benefit at NatWest is the 12 weeks of paternity leave after 6 months. Most projects are legacy, there's very little focus on engineering practices, and you'll spend 3-4 hours a day in calls. Ironically, people keep talking about being more efficient while sitting in all these meetings.
One example. In my first week, I was asked to go through a massive amount of onboarding videos, most of which were outdated and not even relevant. Then the manager gave me a task to understand a system that's been around for more than 10 years and come up with improvement plans for it. I genuinely thought they wanted to improve something, so I started reading docs, debugging, and trying to understand how things worked. Two days later, I was asked why it wasn't done yet. When I explained that understanding a decade old application takes time, it became pretty obvious the exercise was more about evaluating me than actually solving a problem. When I asked if there was any particular direction they had in mind, the response was, "If I have to tell you that, why did I hire you?" That pretty much told me everything I needed to know about the project.
At SG, stuff like this was usually more collaborative. People actually tried to help each other and cared about doing things properly. Here, it often feels like the focus is on evaluating people rather than improving the project or the team. Of course, this is just my experience, and teams can vary a lot. If I were you, I'd ask the hiring manager all the questions you have and make an informed decision. Don't go by Glassdoor ratings alone.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
