... in moving internally. Bonus is an additional income unlike other organization. Salary can be little competitive which will raise the bank's bar. A person like me working for a company for 8+ years is a wonder and that's because of the wonderful management, colleagues and diversity in terms of roles. I have moved to three teams and each of them are unique and friendly. Flexible organization, high job security unlike most of the competitors. Good culture and diversity. Employee centric tied with customer centric.

Salary can be little high.

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 work culture is very good with a near-perfect work-life balance. There is a lot of support for new initiatives, upgrading your skill set. The new technologies used are a lot more compared to other fintech companies like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, etc.
