Pros

It seems pretty difficult to differentiate most of the larger investment banks from each other, but I believe Deutsche Bank is well respected on the Street. Salaries are competitive.

Cons

Similar to all banks, but also depending on what group you work in, a 40-hour work week is unrealistic. You get paid well, but you're expected to work long hours to finish the job. You get 5 weeks of vacation time / personal days, but I don't know anyone who would actually be bold enough to use all the allotted vacation time--face time is much more important. Similarly, even though the company offers flex time and working from home arrangements, I'm not sure I would be willing to pursue those options for fear of jeopardizing the quality of my bonus. Lastly, the cubicles are uncomfortably tiny (they are so short they only come up to your neck), so there's not much privacy.

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance.

Cons

No opportunities for growth or to increase compensation. Management even admits that the company is bleeding people because they are incapable of providing advancement opportunities. Salary has only increased 3 figures in 2 years, despite high marks on performance reviews and very high performance numbers. Denied multiple internal postings without even speaking to me. Rejected my request for a structured career development plan - don't work here unless you're comfortable exactly where you're at.

Pros

Not much of work life balance if you are in APAC time zone. But if you are in Europe I would say Yes. Better prospect if you are female for DEI promotions etc. If you are male and looking to grow look elsewhere

Cons

Promoting the wrong people just to meet gender KPIs. Very stupid promotion process. Group makes a lot of stupid decisions. They don't listen. Rolling out enhancement buts adds more workarounds.
