Morale down after retrenchments

Pros

Standard Bank is big. If you want a steady job, not do more than you are told, this is the place.

Cons

SB is so big, you never feel part of the bigger picture. I really feel that it is solely a place a work for. They don't try to make it more than that. As a young employee, I don't feel that my career and abilities are fully utilized. The recent retrenchments were handled very poorly. Morale is really down and employee loyalty is gone.

Pros

Provided you end up with rational team and a manager: 1) Good recognition for hard wrok 2) promotions and pay hikes 3) Relaxed culture compared to other investment banks ( some teams are opposite) 4) Experience with Emergin market activities

Cons

Some business units push IT associates to the wall and want you to work hard till you die. Still you might end up getting very bad reviews and resulting in bad appraisals. No methodic work culture in business leads to IT following same and as some one said there is no "Standard" in Standard bank
