OCBC Bank offers several positive aspects that employees value, including a strong emphasis on work-life balance and a collaborative culture with supportive colleagues. The bank provides competitive compensation and benefits packages, including generous leave allowances. Additionally, there are numerous learning and development opportunities through their campus and training initiatives, which help employees enhance their banking knowledge and skills.
However, employees have noted some areas for improvement, including the pace of career progression which can be slow and sometimes dependent on educational qualifications. The nature of banking work often requires extended working hours, particularly during busy periods. Some departments experience micromanagement and unclear strategic direction, while there are also noted differences in the treatment and benefits between permanent and contract staff.
