Pros

- tuition reimbursement - tons of pto - looks good on resume - inexpensive health care - overall excellent benefits package - a good place to gain experience for use at other companies

Cons

- miles of red tape - management does not trust employees - they literally have to know where you are and what you are doing at all times. I witnessed managers looking through cracks in bathroom stalls to find a person. They keep files with records of when employees come and go throughout the day. - DB does not empower it's employees - they don't trust their people to get the job done without extreme micromanagement. - management seems incapable of making effective, timely, decisions. - dated, 30 year old systems supported by inept IT support (tata consulting) - Deutsche Bank was involved with the Nazi's - inconsistent review procedures and expectations - if you are not tight with your boss you will go nowhere - they will promote from outside.

Pros

it's got a good brand name that's recognized on wall street. Lots of interaction with people in the London office since that's their largest operation site. lots of europeans all over the bank. intra sites are functional and communicative. lots of career development classes within the bank to enhance knowledge, but the classes are sometimes not very helpful. the location is very convenient on wall st by subway transit. For IT, there's the internal IT mobility program that's encouraged for you to move from one technology group to another. However you still must be careful. though it is encouraged by upper mgmt, some middle managers are still very petty about letting people leave their team.

Cons

the place is a mess everywhere you go within the bank. I made a lateral move within the bank between 2 IT groups and things in both groups was very disorganized. On a technical level, the bank does not have it's act together in certain IT groups. Also from talking to people in the bank, it seems like it's messy on the business side as well. HR at DB is pure evil. I was sexually harassed by one of my managers and HR, not only did not help me, but also made life absolutely miserable. At the end they denied all that's happened as if I made the entire thing up.
