Users say... "Good work life balance (but depending on role) is the only good thing about working there" "Culture is good and don’t have the cut throat nature you see in American firms." "People were great to work with…my bosses understood the human element while still striving for success" "Good benefits (health insurance seems to be the best amongst all banks in Singapore)" "Good pay (which can be a con as it makes it hard to leave)" 

Users say... "Poor management and quick to push you in the way if anything bad happens" "poor life balance with long hours and unpredictability (but part of the job in M&A)" "Managers are bad and never happy" "Pay is below the market and no incentive (low bonus)" "No career progression in Singapore office and major developments are all in London and New York."
