Pictet reviews about "manager"

Bad habit from some managers to force you to work remotely when you’re sick. If you don’t work, you get blackmailed about the possibility to work remotely. For example, you have 13 days of potential work from home but if you are sick 7 days then you will only be allowed 5 days to work from home. This rule does not apply if you are on holidays !!! Even worst, when asked about what sickness would justify not working when sick at home, a manager responded only cancer would justify!!! They need to be reminded that working while being sick is illegal but Pictet doesn’t care. Should be reported to Inspection du Travail. The people who say that they care about the staff isn’t really true. Some managers should clearly be reminded laws and take management trainings!

Swiss parent means that UK comparisons with peer asset managers culture not seen so relevant in terms of benefits and not great on diversity and inclusion. Flexible working not supported.

Bank is too small in Asia to do anything meaningful Highly political for such a small organization Almost nonexistent promotional opportunities Very difficult to do impactful work The laissez-faire attitude means some people get very lazy Had a bad manager who had no idea how to manage

Investment capability is not as good as the marketing Overall teams feel disjointed and disconnected

Career progression can be long, especially if you start young, you can't really expect to be managing a team before at least 10/15 years. But maybe this will change in the coming years.

Let's be honest, it's a golden cage ("une cage dorée"), and for most people it takes leaving to realize just how toxic and sterile a culture it really is. Most managers are too busy covering their backsides or competing with their own colleagues for resources (or the boss's attention) to pay any attention to developing their teams. And the meetings, the endless meetings... All of which is not to say that it's a bad place - just that it isn't nearly as special or different as it thinks it is. As you walk away, you can almost feel the smugness dropping away from you...

Working environment being different from a manager

Not an easy place for female employees. Some managers more comfortable working with women than others and it is clearly shown by the ill treatment. Consult GCN before taking a job there.
