Bad working experience as a minority of a different culture.

Operations analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Disability benefits are on par. Compensation for the elite is good.

Cons

Minorities are not given the opportunity to excel in the various jobs within HR. The managers are very good at suppressing progress. Discrimation, Retaliation, suppression, biasnes , unfairness is culture. Managers encourage division and take of "their own".

Surrounded by talent but compensation structure not great

Assistant vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Filled with talent and ambitious people that get things done, learned so much in my time there -Management recognizes performance, and will identify you and put you on the fast track to a promotion, so you can earn your way up there if you're young and not worry about being behind someone that's been there longer but not a high performer like you are, it's definitely more merit based -On the forefront of addressing/solving the most cutting edge/emerging issues/problems/etc. in banking

Cons

-Comp structure for AVP and below is just a base, then quarterly recognition bonus of 5% (eligible to get this quarterly, up to 2 quarters in a year, so 10% max a year), and then a 5% variable bonus, so if you're not recognized as a high performer, you might only get your base + the 5% variable -Once you get VP and above, you'll get base + a variable bonus again (20%+ depending on your role and level), but internal promotion raises are not great (9-15% raises) -Lots of bad press directed at DB right now, so reputation might be down, but bank is not going anywhere, anytime soon
