      Not here for good!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working, internal training, freebies, and some good colleagues.

      Cons

      Quite a few malicious people encountered where bullying and favouritism is encouraged. Poor middle management layer who hold people back and make crap decisions resulting in poor business performance and no accountability. Awful culture to the point good people just get fed up and leave. No real recognition for the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Budget cuts across the Bank from travel to resources is frustrating given senior management behaviour. Complex operating structure where key people are located on the other side of the world. Pay and bonuses are well below market average.

      Poor Leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company was good 5 years ago, but has since declined.

      Cons

      Poor leadership team in the Americas region; Toxic culture/environment/management; SCB does NOT promote talent, but rather promotes those individuals who feed into the leadership politics. If you do your job, you can expect to stay status quo. If you do your job REALLY well, you def will never leave your current role; the talk about Culture and Values is done because "they need to do it". There are no values with SCB.

      International Graduate Program

      International graduate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The international graduates are given good exposure to top management and taken on loop with organizational level strategy and the way ahead. They are always in on the bigger picture of business due to frequent interactions with senior management. International graduate enter one grade higher than the starting grade (starting grade i.e. the lowest permanent employee level is G9, IG's enter at G8) and after the completion of 2 year program all IG's are promoted to the next grade (G7) together with permanent placement for which they get several options. There is a good amount of international mobility, both during the two year program and afterwards. Many IG's chose to work in a market different from their home countries upon completion of the program. The IG're are paid higher than the average employee on the same grade and well looked after generally during the program.

      Cons

      Once the IG program finishes, then its different for different people. Some find it hard and same as end of honeymoon period. Quite a lot of IG's leave the bank afterwards. A lot depends on where the graduates chose to work. Some markets are great and have good potential, others not so much. Also the IG's are used to good support during the program from HR and afterwards its no so forthcoming anymore which is a rather disappointment. The HR policies for common employees are rather 'not pleasant' and the IG's once they become part of regular core of employees feel the heat more . Apart from this the usual issue of long working hours and politicism and nepotism prevails in some markets atleast and its quite a downer for the younger lot.
