Pros

DB is a relatively young company in the Americas and is still growing, and has an atmosphere that encourages free thinking and innovation. Management is very willing to communicate with interns (not sure about analysts/associates) as is everyone else at the firm. People seem very congenial overall. Training program is pretty good.

Cons

Not all the people are completely competent. Some seem to have been hired due to connections. Also there is a fair amount of corporate bureaucracy, as is to be expected at a firm this size.

Pros

Stable, high salaries, fast-paced. It is a large company so lots of opportunity to move around. Good perks such as 401k matching, pension, vacation days, free museum access, etc. There's a surprising amount of independance of how to solve problems here.

Cons

It can be beurocratic and slow-to-act. Management ability varies widly. Deutsche Bank's corporate culture, at least in the New York region, was to be cowboys - we were encouraged to do whatever possible to get the job done as soon as possible. Later, after the Bankers' Trust/Alex Brown acquisition there was too much process. Only now are we starting to get a good balance.

Pros

Depending on which division you work for there are flexible work hours and the bank offers a competitive base salary. Also, the bank is improving their talent management program and encouraging employees to look within if they are not challenged or would like to do something different.

Cons

Managers show no empathy towards employees’ career expectations. The communication between divisions is poor due to the silo’ed culture. The bank promotes diversity but the reality is there are certain 'clicks' that you'll never get into.
