workload but just small tasks

Good reputation in capital market training. Exposure to flagship programmes that allow staff to engage with regulators, practitioners, and external stakeholders. Talented and collaborative mid-level colleagues.

Leadership culture is detached, senior figures are long-tenured but not visible or engaged. A “don’t rock the boat” mentality discourages speaking up or challenging the status quo. Recognition and career progression are inconsistent, creating a sense of stagnation that led to high staff turnover. Respect for hierarchy is prioritised over accountability, leading to uneven workloads. Problems are reframed instead of addressed. Decision-making process is focused on optics over real outcomes.
