Political, unrealistic expectations - Wholesale Bank Standard Chartered Bank Employee Review

- Unrealistic expectations for the amount of resources provided, which means long hours, tough to meet targets and in-fighting between teams to secure more resources - Low levels of job security for junior staff. Management constantly cultivates a perception that you need to do more and that you are easily replacable - Reward and promotion is pretty much hit and miss, really depends if you have a line-manager that recognize your contributions (frequently not). In which case one needs to be aggressive enough to make their contributions known to management a level above which may upset your line-manager.
