Deutsche Bank reviews

1. Bad compensation if you stay for long time there (>2 years). Ill performance measurement procedure without clear goal settings/transparent estimations. Managers are obliged to give 2 (5 mark scale) to someone. High marks doesn't affect your salary\bonus. Bank loves to say about poor Q4 and cut bonuses. 2. New office infrastructure is not that good as expected, insufficient air conditioning, not enough facilities (toilettes, kitchens). No smoking facility - it might take you 20 mins (lifts) to go outside. Noisy open space (coffee machines, colleagues, cell phones) 3. Moderate bureaucracy level. sub-optimal decisions from management when choosing technologies/services. slow procurement

It does not qualify as IB by any standards whatsoever. They have very specific processes and clerk-type skills that are non-transferable to another financial institution, i.e. useless. If you are looking to spend the rest of your life in Operations, than this is the way to go... It is next to impossible to get into Front Office from Operations. Management is reluctant to recommend their employees to outside managers to do lateral movements within the company. There is significant amount of office politics and favoritism. Business as usual...
