Banking Computer Services Reviews

Extremely clear boundaries set between departments in addition to blame culture ensures that initiatives to bring the company forward are always met with a lot of inertia. Unless you can get someone at the top to push things, the initiative is bound to get rejected. Too much politics is involved. There are some people people that should have been left by the way side but are still in the company making things hard for their own team. Management will pretend to close 2 eyes since it is not affecting them. Did I say blame culture? Yes, let me explain. Management - right from the low level to the top - are more interested to find out who caused the problem than how to solve the problem. Pinpointing the culprit comes first, solving the problem comes later. With this kind of culture, who will want to take on new responsibilities? Expect staff to use own phone to do things but some departments don't have phone allowance while other departments do.

Very hierarchal for a small company, too many layers. VERY political despite them saying there isn't. Promises during interviews aren't kept. Unproductive long meetings with no outcome except tonnes of meeting minutes and minutes. Seeking advice/help can be daunting as they don't care about your personal/family issues. Selective preference to some staff, if you aren't it, you're it. Peers can get personal and brush you off when you try to seek advice. Peers claim they aren't taught to do your roles despite they have previous experience and leave you to swim alone until you give up. Lousy IT support, no tools to work with, no internet for research, no tools for external conferencing meetings, for an IT tech savvy financial institute, this is pathetic. Steering comm meetings are not steering comm, they are update you meetings, putting a CFO inside such meetings asking pointless project questions is a full waste of time. Co-workers have issues with their emails as they don't reply, don't acknowledge and don't act on it. I suspect the email system is down - ALWAYS. Departments are sitting together but don't talk to each other to get things done. Small company but bosses tend to act like MNC high bosses behaving like emperors/queens while you are just a eunuch below the officers (sad point for this). Management doesn't support their workers in decisions and work, very menial and old ways of working. Perhaps works in the 90s, but this is already 2020, shape up. Expectations of you using your own mobile for work communications despite you aren't reimbursed for it. Unrealistic expected response times for off work calls to your mobile (even on holidays).
