Pros

Opportunities for juniors to take on a lot of responsibility quickly. Colleagues are intelligent and hard working.

Cons

Divisional mergers have resulted in overcrowding of Directors/VPs in several teams, actually taking work away from juniors in some cases. Unnecessary management layers, increasing barriers to promotion, and zero performance-related bonus for employees below VP level make DB a wasted venture for any Finance Analyst-AVP with ambition. A lot of stress and responsibility for zero rewards. Morale is low across the bank.
