Thumbs Down

Vice President (Current Employee) - Singapore - December 27, 2017

Overly rigid, overly hierarchical, old fashioned bank. There are no visionaries here, just politicians. This is not a place for those who seek professional development. A poorly managed institution who cloaks this by describing itself as "an entrepreneurial" organisation. If you are a blue-eyed Swiss you will be taken care of (politically as well as job security wise). Expect no direction from Management (MDs and Directors), as they are out to protect themselves and nothing more. The culture (as such exists) is basically a "free-for-all" where you sink or swim on your own. The pay is good and colleagues (VP and below) are great. A good place to park for a couple of years, collect a good salary and then move on.

Pros

Good brand on your CV, good salary, great colleagues

Cons

Poor management, way too much politics, "The Swiss Way"

Good working environment

Operation Executive (Former Employee) - Singapore, S00 - July 5, 2015

Manage equity settlement and option assignment. Handles the queries of RMs. Work has long hours and need to work on holidays. The fun part is the many programmes / training avaiable. The hard part will be always to be watching out for the various cut off time of working processes.
