Good place to launch your career

Operations analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

An excellent place to launch your career. In today's conditions DB is actually doing alright. Good name, good programs for interns and first year grads. If you received your offer after an internship, you'll be placed in a rotational program for a bit. At the end you'll get to decide what group you liked the most. There are plenty of opportunities to advance to middle management.

Cons

The atmosphere seems too "political". People in middle management are simply stuck in middle management. Everyone in the upper management tier was either someone they brought in from Goldman or some other bank, or they were from the UK. Very few of the Directors and MD's that I've met and worked with rose up through the ranks within DB itself. I don't know if this is true for all divisions. Makes you think you have no future there beyond being a VP.

You have a job..but no growth..

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will have a job if u put a lot of effort beyond regular hours. Reasonable pay and benefits. Part of a larger firm and brand.

Cons

You are stuck at middle management..you should know the right people to move to senior management...it doesnt matter if u are talented..or work hard or have great ideas and knowledge. senior management works like a political world rather than a performance and result oriented world. Middle management and senior management positions are more driven by politics, regionalism (U.K employees get more promotions than U.S employees just because they are the middlemen between germany and U.S..and they dictate the terms) and favoritism... -In townhalls you hear something and what management later do is totally different. It is good to join this firm if you are starting your career. But once you reach middle management, you have few options..being in U.S you are always part of a branch office and your growth is very limited..(that's what i saw in my case and almost anyone i know after spending around 10 years at the firm)

If you want to be on "the street" as good as any but not what it could or should be. It will never be Goldman!!!

Managing director

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the last safe places on Wall Street! Very smart people often traped on a rodent wheel.

Cons

Managment is lost in their own issues and suffer from Euro Miopia. Compensation is safe but not highly competitive.
