Poor Leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company was good 5 years ago, but has since declined.

Cons

Poor leadership team in the Americas region; Toxic culture/environment/management; SCB does NOT promote talent, but rather promotes those individuals who feed into the leadership politics. If you do your job, you can expect to stay status quo. If you do your job REALLY well, you def will never leave your current role; the talk about Culture and Values is done because "they need to do it". There are no values with SCB.
