Cost Cuts, Obsessive Compliance, & Old DBS Tools Destroying Shareholder Value

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growth and innovation come primarily through acquisitions—not internal investments or transformation. New deals are funded by aggressively squeezing costs out of past acquisitions. While this may work on paper, it limits real capability building and creates a cycle that won’t sustain.

Cons

The culture has become dominated by cost-cutting, fear of risk, and obsessive overuse of DBS tools—many of which are outdated for today’s challenges. Compliance is used more to control than to enable. Leaders who try to drive change or think beyond the playbook are quietly pushed aside. Talent is leaving, and results are seen in stock price decline.

Pros

Pay is decent and competent, however they want that pay to be worth 2 to 3 people's work.

Cons

Very low consolidated and automated processes, meaning there is a lot of manual paper, manual file moving, and approval work like back in the 80s. They figure is cheaper to do it all by hand than upgrade automation systems, or consolidate databases.....resulting in up to 3x the workload unnecessarily. But hey, 2/3 of the workforce is from overseas so most labor is cheap for them!.....Go figure! Way to much internal training compliance 'courses, meetings, etc... leaving no time to real work at the premises....which you may take home to finish! a lot of problem solving is via their 'toolbox' portfolio which is a bunch of more complex paperwork to fill out just to show others! EXTREMELY time consuming stuff!...whoever stays here is either from overseas or likes to be overworked 3x !
