Not the best place to build a career

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance, some staff are dedicated to the mission which makes for a brilliant work environment sans politics

Cons

Very convulated political atmosphere that favors sucking up to managers rather than staff performance, poor managerial skills in many units and no real commitment to improve the situation. The bank would rather protect bad managers and lose good staff members. Poor HR department, often bureaucratic and out of touch with staff needs and how to address them rather choosing to operate like a call center! Ineffective internal conflict resolution system as the Bank hides behind its immunity to local laws.

Pros

- Great brand to work with - Smart people, everyone has absolutely enviable educational and professional background - Good work-life balance, specially for women - Pay package is ok, salary is tax-free - Great place to retire from

Cons

- While there are great people in the organization, it's difficult to find people at senior levels who can inspire you - High bureaucracy at every level; decision making takes months and can be frustrating - Lack of cross-functional engagement, teams work in isolation - HR does very basic operational functions and has no strategic role to play, managers make most of the decisions for their team members - No bonuses, very little salary increment if one doesn't get promoted to the next band - Work can become monotonous after a while
