CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good diversity - Balance of cultures and genders.

Cons

High staff turnover due to poor reward system. Bonus and promotion structure needs to be looked at to retain employees. Many very good employees leave because they are not rewarded for their efforts which over the long term would cost company more. Internal systems are poor. Much time spent on fixing system issues when time could be better spent on value added activities.

Strong brand name, but lacking collaboration, structure, and training support.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to institutional clients and global systems within a reputed international bank. Opportunities to understand complex custody, fund services, and tax reporting processes. Flexible work arrangements

Cons

Limited onboarding or structured training, especially for new joiners unfamiliar with internal systems. Team culture feels siloed — knowledge sharing is minimal and asking questions is often discouraged. Processes can be outdated and overly manual, creating inefficiencies and unnecessary complexity. Leadership communication and day-to-day guidance could be far more proactive and supportive.
