Business outlook
Pros
SCB has some great people, pockets of opportunities to have autonomy and make a real difference in the organisation, salaries are good, people will sometimes take a risk on you and allow you to develop, cross functional working can be really productive, lack of hierarchical barriers to access people mean exposure to seniors can happen more easily
Cons
There is a fear culture around making mistakes so things get passed down the line to the more junior staff which creates huge stress and big mistakes, lack of visible accountability at the senior levels, big focus on operational cost issues so middle and junior management get put under huge pressure to deliver 200% with minimal resources, very political at the seniors
