Deutsche Bank reviews

Having worked in several different teams in Deutsche Bank in London I can honestly say that it is a very meritocratic environment. Sure the hours can be long and there are difficult characters to deal with (that's banking!) but generally if you are good, and work hard, then you are rewarded.

Deutsche Bank has been less impacted by the current credit crisis and is in fact considered a go to company by clients concerned about the stability of some of the other banks. This means that there are a lot of opportunities to increase the banks market share and future profitability. Communication from management has improved drastically in the last year and there is a lot of self analysis on how to improve the work environment and how to retain staff. To me this suggests that they are aware that employees are the most crucial asset in being a successful investment bank. Deutsche Bank provides 16 weeks paid maternity leave and a phase back to work program for parents which is a critical element in retaining women who have started families. In addition Deutsche Bank has a corporate social responsibility policy and is involved in improving every community that it is involved in. Being involved in helping those who are less fortunate through education collaboration and being socially responsible in the community and environmentally makes me proud to work for the company.
