Can be good, but you need to be careful

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. The bank wants people to be happy and productive and tries through many initiatives. A lot of smart people, but motivation is low. Good work is rewarded.

Cons

Very politcal, need to step carefully. The systems are terrible and the proposed solutions are so large that they end up failing. Long term goals are routinely overruled by new initiatives from senior management. There's a lot of talk about communication and making things better for employees, but cost cutting and new regulations routinely trump those initiaves. It can be hard to make meaningful changes from the trenches.

Great benefits, little upside

Business Outlook

Pros

DB is a great place to work if you are looking for work/life balance, 4 week vacation package, great 401K match (except that it's not paid until 1Q of following year).

Cons

Compensation is weak and below market. DB has also instituted a policy to only provide salary increases with promotions, which means NO adjustments whatsoever. Managers are not incentives to provide growth opportunities. Very difficult to move up the food chain.
