Great Place to Work - Director LGT Bank Employee Review

Well back office support, clear guideline,

outpatient medical coverage is lower than other bank

My comments considers my 10+ years of experiences at various financial institutions and evaluates on a relative basis. *Great work life balance, the best of any firm I've worked at *Mostly collaborative colleagues, and people who genuinely want to help you. *Bankers enjoy high degree of freedom *Less political than other firms due to flat structure *Management who tries to be transparent *Great place for retirement, or for pretending to be working.

Having worked at several banks, I'm sure of the following: *Benefits are behind peers unless you are a banker - more so if you are not a banker. Different tiers of benefits for bankers vs. non-bankers, even if one is in the same grade - super odd. *Days of annual Leave is behind peers *Compensation is slightly behind peers *Beyond bankers, ie. Investment team, one is not paid for performance *Limited upward mobility, unless someone leaves or retire *Because bankers are the most important people here, sometimes a few individuals borderline use that to their advantage to pressure people to get their way. *If you're white, and especially Swiss white, its clear that there is favoritism *Asians have to work hard (ie. global flexible working policy, Asia management deliberately exludes Asia employees)
