a 'start up' atmosphere but without the sleekness required to maneuver efficiently

Pros

people are very helpful and international, good benefits ie. health insurance, # of days of vacation. The company is very flexible -- if you find something you're good at, you can create your own job position and find support around you. You would never find this kind of thing at a more structured organization

Cons

bureaucracy often gets in the way of progress (this is true for all organizations, but even more so at SCB) compensation is below market level senior management often goes in circles around issues and don't contribute to any amount of work there aren't enough low level hires to do the work

Pros

Providing you are aggressive and a political animal you will do well - opportunities will open up to you very quickly. Great development resources provided from international network support. Aggresive in wanting to be the best international bank in China. Room and support for creative solutions

Cons

You are left to fend for yourself, not a culture of offering proactive support to set you up for success. Weak culture in China as a result of quick rotating Snr. Mgt. and executive team being mainly non -Chinese - here on short term assignments. A focus on packaging & marketing vs quality solutions. (politics wins over integrity and quality)
