Direct connection with the regulator, exposure to a wide range of connection within and beyond capital market, respected by industry peers, great perks, free parking
Cons
Too 'regulatory' despite actually being a CLBG, management not setting the right example, obvious favouritism, too many long-tenured staff that are no longer effective/efficient, too rigid, not agile enough to transition to a more 'commercial' entity
Good reputation in capital market training.
Exposure to flagship programmes that allow staff to engage with regulators, practitioners, and external stakeholders.
Talented and collaborative mid-level colleagues.
Cons
Leadership culture is detached, senior figures are long-tenured but not visible or engaged.
A “don’t rock the boat” mentality discourages speaking up or challenging the status quo.
Recognition and career progression are inconsistent, creating a sense of stagnation that led to high staff turnover.
Respect for hierarchy is prioritised over accountability, leading to uneven workloads.
Problems are reframed instead of addressed.
Decision-making process is focused on optics over real outcomes.
