Pros

- good brand to have on cv - try to move staff around

Cons

-offshoring culture-resulting in a `hand off` process when chasing systems, key people -corporate culture of `pushing back` resulting in lack of or slow moving on initiatives - too political resulting in myopic decision making -too many inefficient systems --offshoring developed a competitive culture between departments whereas all employees should be striving for the common good of the organisation

Pros

Deutsche Bank is a place for individuals who quickly adjust to the environment and surrounding staff. Also, this is a place for individuals who can quickly learn and adapt to the different personalities. This place definitely rings true of working with different personalities, places, and tasks. It is what you make out of it. When one enters into the firm, have an experienced colleague who has worked with everybody, show you the ropes and ins & outs of the place - best way of succeeding. Of course, this firm comes with its name and brand recognition especially within world of Investments. The extra benefits in working with a firm of this calibre is that they provide support and paid training within the following areas for added development - GMAT, MBA, CFA providing paid preparation. The firm also implements and provides current market technology.

Cons

~ Management lacks the following: i. Does not know how to manage situations and would rather delegate their difficult management responsibilities than take control of the situation. ii. Fails to provide proper training to newhires. During the firm's "onboarding" process for new employees, management fails to reach out to new employees and identifies that responsibility belonging to the new employees. Firm needs to do a better job with training management to handle employees, since firm's management does not support employee efforts and would rather protect themselves than protect those under their management. Unsupportive management created low morale within their managed teams. ~ Employees with extensive experience become very comfortable with only addressing their focal business than understanding the need to communicate their wish for the work that requires outside support to be best executed and satisfy their preferences. ~ As supported by another reviewer, it is very difficult and long to get needed applications setup for employees to be productive. Many within the firm refer to it as being the "Deutsche Bank Way."
