Hybrid work culture and skill development

Dislikes

Line manager is everything, he decides your rating, increment, bonus. HR is just a yes man to whatever reporting manager says. Lot of good policies on paper but at ground level not much. HR is absolutely not reachable

If you are on permanent payroll Dbs bank is the best company to work for..... Amazing office setup... regular training modules are mandatory for skill development Company has amazing facilities like Itq points Flexi benefits etc which is very employee friendly

Dislikes

Job security is in minus for contractual employees...you r at mercy of supervisors...they can use silent fire policy to replace employees they feel are not aligned to thier way of work Promotion again is at mercy of supervisors Salary increment again at mercy of supervisors Company culture is again person specific.... Employees can be at receiving end for voicing their opinions But DBS Bank has good work culture....very strict on policies.....you learn lot as there is scope .... Overall if you can align with higher management it's best place provided you are permanent payroll as well Respect is very less for juniors and they are expected to only follow instructions from seniors which is ok when seniors are supportive and understanding enough for teammates But any protest to any disrespectful behaviour in work terms will cost you your job...Read More

Company is quite Good for employees. But Higher management is not aware about outside market putting no sense Targets which is not achieved by any chance.

Job for a PB Is Not quite stable bcz the Retail product are limited, so sales job is tough enough. Bank is spending lot of money on loss making lear generation channels. This is soo on.....Read More

Good Employee oriented bank that needs to improve in process. Simplify lengthy processes to benefit customers. If system and processes gets streamlined this bank is great bank to work.

Dislikes

System Bank processes with no proper TAT. No ownership expected from others or juniors. Everything is Branch Manager here. Even basic operations are questioned only to branch heads and not even to branch operation head or other branch operation staffs. Branch Manager need to look after business and also basic operations which is unlikely with other top banks. No targets or scorecards for subordinates or employees other than Branch heads....Read More
