My experience with SBI was excellent though I did have a grouse of not getting promotions as I desired.

Chief Manager (Former Employee)
Dhārwād (India)

I worked at State Bank of India full-time for more than 10 years

ProsI could speak what I thought correct to my juniors and superiors without hesitation.

ConsOn account of huge size, performance appraisal is subjective.

Advice to Senior ManagementIt is difficult to appraise performances as two persons working at two different places/enviornment can not bring the comparable result. Hence overall performance of the person over years should perhaps be a better yardstick.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Special Assistant (Former Employee)
Bangalore (India)

I worked at State Bank of India full-time for more than 3 years

ProsYou gain knowledge,share knowledge and interact with different customers.You gain self confidence and self respect.

ConsSBI employess as well as custermors are treated sepcial in the society and also gain many benifits by become customer thereby becoming an employee.

Advice to Senior ManagementTill today SBI has not really reconised the GOOD worker nad BAD worker by actual work. Since the technology is so much improved lookat all the employess from removete branches also by seeing the scrools so that one can asses how many custemers a GOOD employee attended and how much quantity of amount he has handled and also quality of work. SBI mangement also should also give importance to customer complaints against staff.
