Pros

Work Life Balance & employee medical policy

Cons

There is ZERO Job security. You can get a mail one fine day and you will be asked to leave the organization that very day. The HR here is a joke and the company is insensitive to its own employees. After working and committing oneself to the bank, they will not even blink before cutting you off. Worst bank to work if you want job security. Highly recommended to find something other than stanchart, that you can pursue for long term. Also, the management is absolutely stupid, they make decisions before thinking of the consequences. Too much hiring and frequent change of processes is one of the most common features of the bank. This is obviously later justified by laying off people and cost cutting.

Pros

Work Life Balance Only International Bank with key decisions in SG Amazing franchise potential, but …

Cons

Absolute poor middle to senior management ( band 2 to band 4). PEAK Sh!thousery in Functions and associated Change management and Tech. like a wasteland the Functions COO and allied Tech Functions Leadership regurgitates washed out “talent” from within and externally. MERITOCRACY is an alien concept in Functions. MEDIOCRITY is considered amazing here! Super complicated Risk & compliance policies. And the officers are so inept, they clog the system with indecision. There is a running joke / principle called ABCD for Functions. Avoid all tasks like the plague Bypass tasks by escalating everything Confuse everyone if the above techniques don’t work Else Delay everything coz u can!

Pros

- large budgets - no performance ratings, so people can get away with mediocre or even no work if they are able to stay under the radar

Cons

- Lack of psychological safety (at all levels of the business) - lack of accountability for performance standards - its based on popularity and what certain influential people "think" (and then everyone follows blindly without logic or fact checking)
