Pros

five months of maternity leave for women, comprehensive health insurance and 21 days of annual leave. Great infrastructure and office environment. Most people you will be working with have great attitude and smart.

Cons

iT in singapore are slowly being outsourced to India, Ukraine and some other countries cheaper than singapore. Old time employees have low morale and are all just waiting to be fired so they get their package. Priorities and direction keep changing. Some employees who were asked to leave were offered contractual roles.

Pros

The firm is very client focused and is not being run like a giant casino out to game the system. The senior management is very focused on keeping communication lines with employees open.

Cons

I am part of the IT Graduate Analyst program and my person experience has been awful - there are 3, 6-month rotations you have to complete - irrespective of the fact that you have Master's degree or not and then once you get a permanent placement, there is just no word on when you will get elevated to the next title. I have great finance, math and programming background and was hoping to look for a role that would require a good mix of these skills. Unfortunately, anyone with an IT background is considered a third-rate citizen of the bank. IT people have to fill in time-sheets which I think is a gross and uncomfortable experience.
