Pros

work life balance is amazing, especially if you work in Frankfurt. Even in NYC work life balance is better than in London They tend to get good talent so you will frequently work with bright people and it's a great way to grow.

Cons

Your career is tied to how well your manager likes you. if he packs and leaves, will be hard to advance biggest downside is that HR isn't honest about important topics when relocating and offer zero assistance to acclimate for dependents. They also tell you that they don't offer full or half expat packages, only voluntary expats at AVP level which is not true another big downside is their tech stack. They hire a bunch of incompetent cheap indian labor at support which means if you are a developer or business analyst, you will bang your head against the wall alot indian managers in tech hire indians, despite if candidate is competent or not and have no problem spending thousands sponsoring green cards, it's pretty bad

Pros

High salary, expect to be paid 30% more than what you could get elsewhere, though no bonus. There is no other upside

Cons

The people are unskilled and lack basic intelligence, they survive in the organisation on knowledge of it. Group processes are broken, I joined and it took two weeks to be provided with a working computer/login details (I am a FTE).

Pros

- New CEO is trying to reverse the image of banking instilled by the previous leadership teams. - Opportunities to move around different areas of the bank locally and globally. - Great benefits. - DB encourage their employees to take part in lots of charitable work and allocate time for this.

Cons

- Too many politics. - Enourage competition between employees rather than creating synergy between them. - Too much focus on an individuals profile rather than ability to do the job. - Very slow paced in some areas. Work being repeated by numerous employees. Very inefficient. - High staff turnover rates. - Not a good place to progress fast. - A lot of unhappy people at the NCT levels. - A lot of employees at AVP level and above are not adding enough value to the business and nobody seems bothered. No wonder they have a cost problem.
