Slechte sfeer en dictatoriaal management - Operational Risk Manager KBC Employee Review

Great learning experience and mentorship

Not enough pay for the hours to be sustainable

KBC takes good care of its employees. The benefits and compensation packages are generous overall. A lot of experienced people to learn from. Great retention rate. A lot of people have lasted over 20 years, or started their careers and retired at KBC.

Vertical career moves are limited, especially at the international branches. Lateral moves and addition cross-functional responsibilities are more frequent, however. This is quite possibly due to career longevity and retention rate. If you are in an urgent pickle at an international branch and need immediate assistance from someone in Belgium past 5PM over there, best of lucks. Figuring out who's on call is often akin to searching a needle through a haystack. Mostly data-driven decision making is centralized in Belgium. With geographical distance, that can create an occasional disconnect with local contexts and considerations at international branches that don't necessarily make it into the data stack.
