Deutsche Bank reviews

- The pay is not the greatest. What you come in with, you will be at for a while. You basically have to promote in order to get a raise. - The promotions seem to be more political or based on favoritism, rather than merit and hard work. - Because of this, management is not typically as knowledgeable as they could be, and a lot of the job is up to the associates to figure it out. - Training is nonexistent for most roles. It's a sink or swim culture. - They have done some upgrades to the systems, but they are still slow. - They changed the hybrid schedule to a required 3 days a week, with barely 90 days' notice, to start in the summer when school is out. This is a huge inconvenience for employees, especially those that need to figure out childcare. - Morale is definitely low amongst a lot of associates. It has become very production and metrics driven, and some people have been laid off. I have heard multiple stories of employees being called out on team calls for not meeting metrics that are sometimes unreasonable. Your work-life balance is sometimes compromised in order to hit the numbers.

The bank openly shares their discriminatory policies and requires managers to hire based on sex and race. Some employees have limited opportunity and in some cases are pushed out based on sex and race so the bank can rehire in the assigned "diversity target". If you think the days of sending people to the back of the bus are over, you haven't worked here yet.
