YOUR experiences in the company you worked in
 

Hi all,

i do not know if there was ever a thread on this but i would love to know about the personal experiences/ rumours/ gossips/ company culture / salary, bonuses, increment etc ( anything at all ).. in the company that you are working in or worked before... of course you can contribute as a guest to avoid any tracing..

that will greatly aid in our decision to change jobs, aint it? : )

I'll start.

Big foreign bank with regional headquarter here. Lots of foreign talent. Staff strength of Singaporeans maybe about 10%. Perhaps the slowest and easiest foreign bank to survive in. Things move slowly. Decisions take a long time to be made. Bosses are generally nice. They talk a lot. Meetings after meetings. As always, some teams move faster and are more stressful than others, but generally my sense is that the culture is perfect for "hiding until retirement", which I believe many people are doing. Pay is good, definitely higher than average. But during the last crisis, I know of a few people who got sacked. Not many though.

Have left. Chasing after personal aspirations. :)
