Concerns regarding diversity in leadership and internal promotion paths - Finance Analyst DBS Bank Employee Review

There appears to be a significant lack of diversity within the Group Finance leadership team, which has created a noticeable glass ceiling for local talent. Hiring and promotion patterns seem heavily skewed toward external hires for senior roles (AVP level and above), while long-tenured local staff remain in associate-level positions with limited upward mobility. Furthermore, the culture feels increasingly centered around a specific leadership circle, leading to a "marked" environment where dissenting opinions are discouraged. This has resulted in a decline in morale among those who feel their contributions are overlooked in favor of a specific hiring profile.
