Pros

Big and diversified offers good opportunities for mobility and growth. Growth and development it is not encouraged. The location it's very good and the new building in London offers a range of modern and functional facilities.

Cons

Highly focused in emerging markets, it does not offer a great number of mobility opportunities within Europe. Middle management lacks proper training, mostly related to people management and leadership, which generates unnecessary problems. Salaries and perks are not fantastic.

Pros

Standard Chartered is a global bank with more than 70000 employees and present in more than 70 countries. Cross team and cross border opportunities are available if you are very very good.

Cons

Employees are faced with very tough competitors from much more larger competitor banks and financial institutions. At some point, Standard Chartered Bank will probably grow large enough to sufficiently level the playing field.
