Only decent pay, HR admits to being 50th percentile only - DBS SEED DBS Bank Employee Review

The disruptions solely result from a severe and unpleasant shortage of expertise and talent. Much more disruptions have actually occurred but been intentionally kept out of the public eye. Upper management lacks substance; despite middle and lower management raising concerns about organisation risks, there are only feeble excuses. With a pay scale at the 50th percentile, the talent recruited is also at the same level, resulting in compromised quality when striving for excellence. Anticipating competent upper management here is bound to lead to significant disappointment; it's important to recognise that they are, at best, average within the market. 4/10 of the individuals in my team, including myself, have departed from this bank, moving on to various other institutions, and have been genuinely surprised by the contrasting levels of competence. I am inclined to predict failure through organisational risk.
