Was a great place to work at 5 years ago!

Pros

Ok so the pro's - Very open culture, you can walk up to seniors easily and talk to them, share your ideas. Also the company wants to innovate and is very open to listening to and implementing new ideas. Depending upon the department and country that you are in, work life balance can be good or challenging.

Cons

Pay is not as per industry standard at least on the consumer banking side Changes in management in the last few years have made it very cut throat and cold! Top management especially in india was very friendly and genuinely concerned about employees. Doesn't seem to be the case now. Keep it to work and thats all they want!

Was a decent company, but seems to be sliding each year.

Pros

Advancement opportunities were great and the bank encourages you to spend time overseas so there can be a lot of travel or short/long term assignments abroad.

Cons

Senior management doesn't seem to know what the next steps are. There has been a shakeup throughout the bank and I saw lots of good people leave on the back of it who knew the bank well.

My coworkers were friendly and helpful at all times but too much hierarchy.

Pros

Everyone seems to have been there for a long time so it seems there is a good work-life balance and employees end up being really great friends.

Cons

The back office was a bit far from central downtown Hong Kong. As a contracted worker, there is no bonus.
