Standard Life operates internationally. It operates in long term savings. It also operates in investments and money matters. It is a forerunner in its field.
It is hard to say if Standard Life Inc. cares about its employees without working there myself. However, they have been in business a long time and even let interns work there.
Standard life bank was first founded in 1825. It would be more accurate to say that the founders were a group of people commissioned by the UK Parliment to insure legal and safe banking practices.
Standard Life is located in Edinburgh, but they operate internationally, so they also have headquarters in Canada, Austria, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India and Ireland.
