RecommendsNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Standard Life Aberdeen full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Good work life balance. Nice people to work with. Really concentrated on supporting staff during lockdown.
Cons
Too many people who have been there for a long time and have built expectations on what the company should be doing for them, not what they can do for the company. Really needs a shake up. Far too much change - never seen so much pointless change and restructuring, think i'm on about 5th line manager and in 4th department change. Career - you're blocked by the glut of legacy staff who through time spent have progressed to more senior roles.
