Collaborative place

Retail Banking (Former Employee) - Singapore - June 15, 2022

Very collaborative environment and people are very willing to help/teach you. However, a large part of your growth in the company will be dependent on how much your boss is willing to fight for you and which business line you are in.

Pros

Collaborative, helpful colleagues, good benefits

Cons

Longer hours, promotion can be difficult depending on your business line

Productive and Good place to learn

Manager (Former Employee) - Changi Business Park - June 2, 2022

A typical day would be morning meetings and discussions on the current job scope, what needs to be done, whats needs to be achieved. I have learned to interact well with customers, the Banks Products , People and using their systems. Management has clear directions what needs to be achieved and it is communicated to us. Fair and problem solving skills. Workplace culture is fair and many people are approachable and coaching is available if needed. Hardest part of the Job would be sometimes we need to get information from client, they are either busy or not able to be in contact. Best part of the job is the learning and experience with customers and colleagues.

Great for learning

Manager (Current Employee) - SINGAPORE - June 2, 2022

Great for learning as high working standards. However, very slow growth prospects.Modelling team really does very high quality of work. And in singapore, there is no team as good as this particular team. The promotions and growth prospects are very slow.

Used to be a fairly good place to work until a recent MD came along and created a competitive and toxic culture.

Director (Current Employee) - Singapore - January 30, 2022

Used to be a fairly good place to work until a recent MD came along and created a competitive and toxic culture. Hence alot of attrition follows and I lost all my friends in the department.Good mobility across departments.

Pros

Good hybrid/flexible arrangement in the long term, Stable environment.

Cons

Poor career progression, HR has all kinds of excuses not to increase your pay or bonus, organisation is huge and complex.

Good benefits

Very good staff benefits. Work life balance. However, the company is very big with many departments. And sometimes it takes a fairly long time to locate the right department to solve an issue.

Pros

Good staff benefits

Cons

work culture can be improved

Nice working place

Guest Relation Host, CBRE (Former Employee) - MBFC - October 11, 2020

Just like any job, there is always some people have sore eyes for people who can work harder than them. Most of the staff are really nice, but the management or seniors always have their own internal political views.

Good and fast paced Bank

Senior Business Analyst (Current Employee) - Singapore - May 21, 2020

A very good bank if you already have some experience and willing to work in a fast paced and result oriented environment. Salaries are slightly above market. Good culture and management is transparent to a good degree.
