Banco de Occidente Reviews

-They boast some "best workplace awards" yet their salaries are laughable (you pretty much stay in the range of 500-700 usd/month) -Their "seniorities" are a joke (as a senior you wont make even 100 usd more than the previos level) -Absolutely no mechanisms to prevent workplace harassment, yet they act all surprised when you quit. -The culture is pretty much your average "colombian old company" culture, where is heavily sexist, promotions are for girls willing to "do" her bosses, their double standards are insanely evident, -As pretty much every colombian bank, they use old tools, old technologies and processes, and that is not up for debate, as a matter of fact..... -NOTHING is up for debate, boss is god kinda mentality, -Wages are unbalanced, software engineers better be appreciated someplace else, -They treat you like you are disposable, but when you try to quit, they try to retain you with sleazy "legal" threats, -In my particular case, i worked 10 hours a day from mon-fri, 5 hours on saturdays just because a manager heavily underestimated the effort of a project and made us pay for it ourselves instead of coming clean. Not a single extra bonus was paid to me.

Gives too much importance to cliques, being friends with your boss will get you farther easier than actually being good at your job. Pay is awful, you would expect more from one of the biggest banks in the country. For development analysts there is not clear path of advancement in the company.
