Working at RBS Group in Stamford, CT: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Stamford, CT Area

"It is a good bank with good people, but the mistakes of the past result in high fines from different governments. Therefore, the bank cannot be profitable. There is also lots of old technology that is expensive to maintain but the bank does not find a way to retire the old tech. The bank has been trying for years to retire some old applications without any luck."
