Pros

vacation, other benefits and mostly good people.

Cons

Where to start! There is a reason that DB is always in the news and that’s because risk, audit, legal and compliance departments have sub-par employees. Legal won’t make a decision on anything and always has to go to outside counsel for something that the in-house counsel should know Management in Germany and London don’t care about US regulations. You can literally tell management that you will have a regulatory problem yet they ignore any pleas for help. No ownership at the senior level! No one can make a decision so nothing gets done which results in those that want to see progress give up eventually and leave.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
