Unfortunately, still more about connections than talent

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate Values are, for the most part more genuine than in other banks, less bureaucracy than typical, people generally less "cut throat" and less selfish than in other shops.

Cons

Connections trump talent far too often Speaking out without someone connected behind you is career suicide Too short term in talent management, only see the immediate cost/return of people

Great people, dysfunctional management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

SCB has some great people, pockets of opportunities to have autonomy and make a real difference in the organisation, salaries are good, people will sometimes take a risk on you and allow you to develop, cross functional working can be really productive, lack of hierarchical barriers to access people mean exposure to seniors can happen more easily

Cons

There is a fear culture around making mistakes so things get passed down the line to the more junior staff which creates huge stress and big mistakes, lack of visible accountability at the senior levels, big focus on operational cost issues so middle and junior management get put under huge pressure to deliver 200% with minimal resources, very political at the seniors
