Toxic envt

Forget it. Toxic culture. Backstabbing and zilch teamwork are the norms everyday.Dont expect any support. They dont know what they are doing either. Nice to see. Rotten inside

Friendly people & positive environment

Credit Risk Analyst (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 7, 2023

Most co-workers are friendly and helpful. Lots to learn, grow and develop. Managers are ok. But limited growth if you are contract staff as it is hard to convert to perm.

Fun culture, nice people

Trade Officer (Former Employee) - Tampines Central 1 - July 4, 2023

Nice people to work with, fun culture, have activities and team bonding, but management has to look into more on staff work life balance. Great salary and benefits too.

Long working hours

Just joined this company and I am required to OT for the first day. IT is so outdated and lagging, though I feel the pay is alright for me. Don't except to leave on time.

Wouldnt Work Here Again

Officer (Current Employee) - Alexandra - May 23, 2023

No work - life balance. OT everyday from 6.30pm to 8pmOutdated systems & requires you to submit a physical timesheet DAILY to your supervisor. Be careful as many staff were informed that they will be placed at Tampines HQ but end up at Alexandra HQ. Very difficult to get leave. Only good thing is mc is 30days & leave 23 days

Experience is largely dependent on your manager

Senior Officer (Current Employee) - Shenton Way - May 23, 2023

If you have a good manager/ team lead, days are okay, however if your manager bad, your days would be difficult. Colleagues are not bad from my experience. But the bosses are not exactly easy to work with

Good place to work but compensation low

Analyst (Former Employee) - Singapore - December 21, 2022

Compensation is low but bonus is generally ok. Ample annual leave and family care leave which is sufficient each year. However, feel that base compensation can be improved.

Productive

Application Developer (Current Employee) - Singapor - August 13, 2022

a typical day at work starts with the daily routine inspection of your equipment and then you will meet with your technicians for delegation of tasks and to discuss the concerns of the day.

Regional bank trying to promote good HR practices

Technology Lead (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 17, 2022

Worked for 3 years in the Tech & Ops Division. A typical asian bank where rank and hierarchy is very important. Promotions are far and few, and at the SVP level and above it is impossible unless the Group CIO herself endorses it.

Friendly culture, great direct boss

Cons

Fast-paced
