Pros
Prestigious name to have on cv.
Cons
From an IT perspective, 5+ years ago Deutsche was a great bank hiring the best people. Most of the good people have since left, leaving behind the dead wood. Why? - no longer pays top money - bureaucratic organisation makes it hard to get things done - creativity and innovation are stifled - jumps on the nearest bandwagon but is always behind the curve, never leading - too focused on cost cutting, and often in the wrong places - too many layers of ineffective management - decision makers sit in ivory towers and do not engage with the troops until after decisions have been made - cronyism - lack of 360 reviews resulting in poor quality management team - replacing good quality, experienced on-shore staff with cheaper off-shore staff - poor quality IT systems
