They also have a good rep for being quite supportive of their workforce in many ways. They offer quite a few opportunities to retrain and do something different.

HSBC used to be like that. Don't know if they still are. But certainly a few years ago they were running schemes with schools where staff members with decent computer skills. who wanted a chance to try their hand working in a school setting, would do an a couple of hours a week outreach, teaching IT in a local school.

There's even more linking up these days with the academies and sponsorship and so on.
