Standard Chartered Branch Sales and Operations Manager salaries in India

Likes

That they are a big brand globally and the compensation they provide is the best in the industry.

There are a pot of things but an important one would be that your line manager holds the key to your life and there is no way you can cross them and raise issues with them to any other person in organisation. Very linear and traditional hierarchy structure, for others do have a look at my rating parameters.

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.

...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.

The company is open to innovation and readily adopts latest technology. I love the fact that I am a part of a team that markets reliable, high-quality products and has a global client base. As a result, I get to travel abroad, especially to the US and Canada. But on-site travel is completely dependent on your project and client’s location. Mine is a US based client and they have some offices in Toronto, hence I got a B1 visa quickly. Another plus point is that my colleagues come from various cultural backgrounds, and we work happily in collaboration. I also like the employee re-hire policy here.

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night. Managers do not value an individuals’ unique strengths, which is why I have to take back my suggestions most of the times. I do receive appreciation emails from my client, but they mostly go unnoticed during my mid-year appraisals. Also, there is no on-job training for freshers, hence senior folks like me have to guide them step-by-step, which is a pain sometimes.

Just the compensation.

Dislikes

Directionless and immature leadership with the age old and non competitive products and services. No proper guidance from the direct manager, and only equipped with the blame game. No motivation to work. No consideration of hard work and no empathy. Despite of sharing that i would be continuing with my further education with my job during my interview and my manager agreeing to be supportive of the same, he left no opportunity to use that same thing against me with a taunt whenever he could. Displaying his ill mannered and uncivilised behaviour always.
