Bank of Singapore Employee Reviews

It was a good opportunity to grow. People were generally nice, and work-life balance was pretty good. I liked the company, but a lot of the work was monotonous.

Overall good experience, managed to learn a lot and colleagues are friendly. Volume is high and expectations are high as well. Pay could be better, but is made up with bonus.

Bad place to work

Rather not tell (Former Employee) - Hong Kong - October 10, 2022

Your local manager will not support you, just ask you to do you work by yourself and issue guidelines.SG side will always playing with production environment like a test lab and bring you tons of work.Your team lead and manager will claim your credit and let you bear the bad things.

Conducive environment with nice n helpful colleagues

Marketing Associate (Current Employee) - Singapore - March 8, 2021

Colleagues are generally nice but systems are very bad. There are lots of manual reconciliations with short deadlines. A lot of time are spent on manual stuff. Systems introduced don’t work well n we need to help system instead of the other way.People are friendly n willing to help generally. The company has very good medical benefits not only for staff but also applicable to their family.

Pros

Good medical benefits

Cons

Systems always have problems, take long time to rectify system issues. Management n relevant teams push FO to be held accountable, huge stress to be FO.

Marketing Associate (Former Employee) - Singapore - October 14, 2019

This is the first time the central bank has eased monetary policy since April 2016, and comes amid faltering growth in Singapore as a protracted trade war and a global tech downturn continue to weigh on the key manufacturing sector.

Toxic

Director (Current Employee) - Central Singapore - May 31, 2019

Not a recommended choice. Extremely toxic culture and political cut throat exhibited from top management to bottom employees. The IT Department is managed by program managers who are slave drivers so that you worked for them 7 days a week on call including holidays and with no work life balance. There is no appreciation of your hard work and sacrifices. I came from reputable banks to join BOS and now truly regretted my decision dragging my feet to come to work everyday. This is not sustainable.

Pros

Benefit and remuneration

Cons

Ruined your career and resume

Different culture to established banks

Back office (Former Employee) - HK - March 11, 2018

Back office and compliance staff are all the least priority in this company, over focus on front office team as it is at the expanding stage. Couldnt maintain overall staff morale. Poor management
