Pros

1. Flexible with lunch hours 2. A lot of team bonding events

Cons

1. Open to feedback - But turn a deaf ear when staff really confides with boss 2. They're quick to blame you for mistakes, but rarely express gratitude when you succeed 3. No recognition for hardwork but rather how you bootlick your boss (Common scene: buying coffee and tea for boss everyday) 4. No intention to retain good workers but insist on keeping workers just because they have been with the bank for long. 5. Interviewing process not consistent throughout the bank. 6. HR leaves everything to business/ line manager to handle hiring process/ complaints. No involvement from HR when there is a need. Not sure what have they been doing. 7. A lot of unnecessary roles with overlapping responsibilities.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
