Standard Chartered Architect salaries in India

Likes

1) Based on your team and position in the company, your work-life balance can vary. But in general it is good. You don't get pressured much because it is an insourcing firm and your clients are your internal stakeholders. 2) The outlook of the Group Management is Fabulous. They are pulling the right strings at the right time and set ambitious yet achievable goals. But they don't transcend down to the lower rungs of the pyramid. It gets blocked by the fatty middle management layer and they are more of projections than actual actions. The Group is often blinded by the what happens in the upper layers of the pyramid. 3) The strides it made during the past 4 years, slow but there is progress without stagnation at least is some departments of the bank.

Dislikes

...adder or get promoted as they value your longevity more than your performance. 4) Salary is absolutely not competitive. It is like India is - The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. If you do a comparison you don't even fall in the market median bracket which is pathetic. They milk on people's ignorance on their market worth and value. 5) The external perspective of SCB GBS is not that great in India Chennai/Bangalore. Therefore when you want to look out, you rarely get calls from other players in the same sector. Maximum it would be Citi, HSBC, SG. This might not be true for SCB Singapore. 6) Senior folks have established their comfort couches in the company and it makes it difficult for talented junior folks to climb up.

Pay will be good

Dislikes

I have ever seen a worst management in my whole work experience. Manager will never allow you to talk with anyone and spy on you if they find you talking to anyone from the same unit. I resigned as money is not the only factor that makes us work. They really speak badly about you in your absence.

Likes

Only compensation and work hours.

Dislikes

No Business specific HR to raise issues that one comes across. Teams are silos and dont share information. Leadership hires are arbitrary with no skillset related to the domain and they take arbitrary decisions about people within the domain.
