Business Outlook

Pros

- Annual Leave 24 days - Work Life Balance - Alot of freedom and free reign to do your job - Flexibility on the time you reach office, go for lunch, go home - Most people are helpful

Cons

- Cliques are very strong here and it isn’t easy to break into one - Segregation of old timers vs new joiners - People come here to work, not to make friends. Eating lunch alone is common here. People don’t ask each other out for lunch, after work activities are unheard of - Company events such as D&D are non-existent - Bonus is bad and increment is non-existent - Processes put in place are not logical - Client review process is tedious - Alot of dead weight in the bank, the bank keeps hiring without thinking of how to improve the processes and cut headcount - Resistant to Change - Processes are very backward for private banking compared to other banks and there is no plans to change it
