East West Bank reviews

Company is experiencing extreme turmoil with recent executive departures and audit issues Many employees are ESL and have difficulty communicating They work hard, not smart, and choose to reprimand employees who make improvement suggestions Management can be intimidating, aggressive, and demanding (notice how many anonymous reviews there are) Office politics and childish feuds to "impress the boss" IT and digital support systems very outdated and inefficient Expectation to cater to Asian community, and expectation of "Asian perfection" Excessive meetings/conference calls where half the time is spent reminding people to mute their phones (rather than develop a "mute all" button) Company culture is suspect of innovation, creativity, and new ideas Tremendously underpaid (yet record-breaking year-over-year growth?) Underwhelming, uninspiring bank products and very few customer promotions make for difficult sales

Most of my team members never spoke, they just kept to themselves and did not like to share their knowledge. Not a sociable atmosphere at all. The El Monte Operations center is in a terrible area, the building was old, smelly and filled with roaches. The A/C didn't work most of the time. Being located in the San Gabriel Valley where the average summer temperature is 100°, it was often unbearable. Management is a joke. The same bad managers keep getting promoted over and over again, making more and more money. A lot of office politics. The HR department is also a joke. When you have a legitimate complaint against your supervisor, they side with the company, not yours. Employee favoritism is HUGE in this company. You can do a great job and get nothing (no compliments, feedback on your performance, raise, or bonus), or you can do a lousy job and get promoted AND a raise, if you are “in” with the right manager. They also eliminated the work from home policy, but some certain “favorite” people still got to work from home.
