Standard Chartered Bank reviews

If you are not liked (for the stupidest reasons) by any person in management, rest assured you would not be liked by the rest of the management team. The entire team will do well to avoid you, and you technically would have to function in the toxicity. The management team would blame you for the failures of the the bank’s process, and the condescending approach that subordinates are spoken with, it's appalling. You constantly second guess yourself as to your level of thinking.

If you land in the wrong team, be prepared for your efforts to not be recognised, a toxic manager that can really hurt your career progression and subject you to doing busy work that is a waste of time and provides zero value for your learning, development and ability to contribute. It seems like external talent is valued more rather than nurturing loyal employees. Generally it seems like comp can be quite competitive if you’re entering the organisation as an external, but stay too long and you’ll find that it takes a lot to get promoted or a raise, and the criteria is not transparent at all. Internal mobility may be possible but depending on your division you may meet with a lot of friction and people trying to block your move.
