Dislikes

your job will not come with a scope of learning, systems and processes are old, and people are not much inclined to move to new tech as most staff is 35-40+ and just counting days to retirement. There are no promotion opportunities because of the existing staff that chooses not to leave.

Many people who comes into the bank do not want to go out and hence it becomes extremely difficult to get inside the bank as new joiner or for promotions be it vertical or horizontal. Onsite opportunities are available but getting through its again purely through skill and rapport (networking).

Compensation and benefits. At times restructured to adjust with the current market trend. Also, their insurance structure is top notch.

For STC and STT there are no jobs opening within WB. For extension one has to reach out to individual permanent staff and asking for work is very time consuming and embarassing. There should be market within WB for STC/STT.
