Pros

CEO Noel Quinn is redeploying capital and resources where they generate the best returns - in Asia. Massive global bank but vast majority of profits are generated by the Asian operation.

Cons

The US operation is not fit for growth nor is it being asked to grow. Instead, it plods along - it’s bureaucratic and the US leadership is uninspiring.

Pros

New office is nice. Encourages internal movement.

Cons

-Pay is low compared to the market and upon multiple meetings to discuss unhappiness across the department, management concluded that we must 'do more with less'. - - - No effort done to increase resources, just hiring more offshore with low quality work in work the onshore ppl have to clear their mess. -New senior management (heads) are always talking about improvements and achievements during meetings but nth has been done so far. Mind you, resource issues were raised as early as Jan 2021 but up till Q3 nothing was done, resulting in staff burnout and mass resignation. -Front office staff are also reasonable and rude, does not care about MO/BO lack of resources. Escalating to the department bosses just for little issues and sometimes even forcing staff to work till ungodly hours while they knock off early/have frequent coffee breaks.

Pros

Decent salary, easy job and also the targets mostly achievable (only net inflow considered)

Cons

long working hours, no help or guidance from anyone every body is just busy doing their own thing, good luck with admin work, systems are really bad or at least I hope there are better out there.
