Join only if you have no alternative. Pathetic organisation. - Wealth Management Analyst Standard Chartered Bank Employee Review

Yeah, you will get plenty here. 1. Worst management, treats you as a slave. 2. Pay/Hikes/Appraisals way below market standard. 3. Inefficient managers (only has UG degree). No product/process knowledge and lack leadership quality. 4. HR has no play (other than hiring). Everything is managed by your line manager aka People Leader. So basically if you have any grievances you cannot take it up with anyone. 5. To be favourable you need to be a Tamil (or else regionally same as your manager) 6. Zero appreciation on performance (even if it's an acknowledgement over a call/meeting) 7. Leaves are sufficient (only if they let you take one other than block leave). This highly varies team to team. 8. Exceeding working hours (+ 2-3h) on a daily basis and not rewarded. 9. Shift allowance policies are not up to the mark. 10. Excessive cost cutting. 11. No transparency on policies from the organisation end. 12. Conflict among team members which leads to loss of productivity and time. All of these sumps up to no work life balance, excessive stress and health issues. And to curb all of it, even the pay is too less.
