      The Worst Organization

      Premium banker
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Okay pay - Matching contribution - Global opportunities - Shorter branch hours

      Cons

      - Toxic Culture. People avoiding responsibilities. Unsupportive Team. "It's not my job" - Outdated and non-user friendly technologies. - Only 'Talks' of caring customers but definitely 'numbers first' organization. - Mostly Chinese customers. If you don't speak Mandarin/Canto, you are not that important in the branch. - No sense of empowerment. Extreme amounts of red tapes, approvals, rules, and regulations. You just can't get things done by yourself or in time.

      Dying company

      Personal banker
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's really easy to apply and get selected since not many candidates are interested in working in this bank. It's really ideal for university fresh graduates to get a start in the banking field. Pay is above average

      Cons

      Horrible management. outdated system. unmotivated staff. limited career advancement once you are in the organization.

      Consultant Business Systems

      Consultant - business systems
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very large financial group. Varied experience

      Cons

      Work! work!! work!!! for employees. Fine! Fine!! Fine!!! for the Bank. Need to work in hours starting from Hong Kong time to Chicago times. Managers expect work seven days a week. Projects are too aggressive. Management pushes unreasonable targets and finally projects get cancelled or not promoted to Production or undergo extensive changes. Always Damocles sword is hanging about moving position to offshore or outsource. Higher management does not care about employees. Management has made so many issues and keep paying billions and billions in every country. Sorry a bad employer!
