Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Reviews

No upward mobility Promotions are paid in June and are you extremely small Below market pay (even with benefits considered) Very little (zero) investment is made into developing staff The management hierarchy is weak and doesn't allow VPs or SVP to do much without impossible to acquire approvals from people in other offices and in Japan.

If you are not of Japanese heritage, your career path is dead. A lot of red tape all around, by the time everyone agrees on the current policies, it's time to change it again. You have to work there for over 5 years before you are promoted or if you kisses up to the CCO. No one wants to work for a person who has a spreadsheet documenting every time you get up to go to the bathroom or to get a drink of water. How can the CCO condone this? All of your phone calls are recorded and your emails are monitored --it's similar to being a the book "1984". Rainmakers do not stay, they will leave for a better bank and those who have left have done quite well in terms of titles and salaries.
