Standard Life Aberdeen Employee Reviews about "good benefits"

Pros

Very good benefits because the company is so toxic it’s the only way management can keep staff. Good work life balance because they hire 3 people to do the one of one person.

Cons

Teach people how to use a phone, no need to fly everywhere. Stop being so proud of your a white male Scottish company, it’s simply racist. Promoting people on colour and not skill is a stupid business strategy. It’s ok, we can then hire more consultants to fix it.

Pros

Some good benefits like 40 days holiday and excellent new parental leave policy

Cons

Culture of bullying exists within the marketing department. Worst offenders are senior management.

Pros

Good benefits Nice people to work with Sense of belonging amongst team members

Cons

Too many decisions based on how things have always been done instead of what the best way forward should be

Pros

Fairly flat culture. Good benefits for graduates, including paid for accommodation when rotating in different cities. CFA funding.

Cons

The grad scheme is very hands off - HR are under resourced for the amount of graduates and offer little support, with responsibility devolved to “stream heads” who are often too senior and hard to get meaningful time with. Very few junior front office roles available internally which will likely cause bottle necks if unresolved and could result in investment grads being placed in unfavourable roles post grad scheme.
