stressful when it comes to delivery. long hours
Senior Associate (Current Employee) - Changi - June 20, 2022
stressful when it comes to delivery. long hours work. management help is less. weekends work will be in place and you cant expect to learn anything other than project. self learning ZERO bcoz you wont get time. as weekdays are tiring, you will try to rest on weekends where you can find refreshment?
Pros
learning.. only learning nothing else
Cons
long hours, no work life balance, you wont learn anything other than your project bcoz you wont get time.

Worst job ever with toxic culture
AVP (Former Employee) - Singapore - June 17, 2022
- Toxic and unprofessional middle management, forever criticize, whining and gossip about colleagues and team members - Meetings always got no focus and no outcome -Instead of focusing on work, people like to poke their nose into team members personal matters and privacy - Poor leadership, often have different directions on dealing with projects, confusing the entire team - Manager often say one thing but do another thing, then blame the staff for doing it
Pros
No good reason for staying in the bank
Cons
Noisy and gossiping team leads and MD who like to talk non stop

Management should improve
Data Analyst (Former Employee) - Singapore - March 23, 2022
Management doesn't seem to be clear what they want and team culture is very untransparent. It is difficult to do proper data analysis work when the boss does't quite understand and doesn't show appreciation.

Great company, management and culture
AVP (Current Employee) - Singapore - March 15, 2022
Great company to work at. People are generally and genuinely helpful and collaborative. Senior management is well-respected in the industry and listens to employee feedback. Only thing is some departments are siloed, yet there are many job overlaps between teams. Also, career progression is slow, and increments are minimal.
Pros
Good benefits, collaborative culture, good management
Cons
Slow career progression, hierarchical, complex org structures

Stable environment that empowers you, opportunities to grow and learn. Patient supervisors.
Project Manager (Current Employee) - Changi - February 11, 2022
Had a good experience because I worked in a small team that collaborated cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders. Hence, I managed to receive good exposure in a short amount of time.
Pros
Relatively competitive salary, interesting and meaningful projects, great colleagues with good work ethics, pleasant environment to work in.
Cons
Workflows can be a bit messy because the bank is so big, approvals for projects take very long, approval processes are complicated and involve many parties.

Biased, inhuman but well paid
Senior Associate (Former Employee) - Changi business park - January 14, 2022
DBS IBGT at CBP was a nightmare. People are ready to walk all over you at the slightest opportunity. you name the type of discrimination and this place is a breeding ground for it. Racial, language, age, gender. Meetings are full of inappropriate jokes.
Pros
Salary and bonus i guess
Cons
If you want to be alive, get out
