Pros

Bank takes pretty good care of its people. Pay is competitive as long as a person is not hired as a junior. Unique network of offices and branches allows for interesting experience. Most multi-cultural international bank I have seen which is very educational. Bank's results may have deteriorated lately but the organisation remains in decent shape.

Cons

Career decisions are often taken in the smoking area in downtown Singapore. Culture is quite closed and there can be a lot of back stabbing. Countries and headquarters often don't link up well. It may take a long time before you would actually receive a written job offer, bank can be very bureaucratic in these things.

Pros

- Great staff benefits (decent pay-scale, 25 days of AL, health dollars claimable annually) - Good bank culture (lots of staff activities, weekly newsletters keeping a vibrant and open working environment for employees and management alike) - Beautiful office - Adequate work-life balance (work from 9 to 6) - Focus on volunteerism as part of giving back to society - Strong brand name

Cons

- Lack of career progression/freedom (senior manager refuses to let go of talents to other departments despite the Bank's well-known culture on internal mobility; just wanted employees to work endlessly and ignoring their want/need for career progression; selfish) - Manager tends to recruit more foreigners than locals, eg. pulling in ex-colleagues from previous overseas office (Malaysians pulling in fellow Malaysians; Indians pulling in Indians; leaving less/no headcount for Singaporeans - Mostly top-down approach; employees unable to speak their minds and most of their ideas get pushed off by lazy direct managers who are more comfortable with the current workflow than to seek higher productivity by improvising on current methods
