Pros

The company subsidiary Dallas Creation Centre has huge potential since its favors open platforms and hence open ideas. Fintech is at its core. It explores all avenues of technology to attract businesses. It has the resources to make it big in US market. Salary is competitive but bonuses are poor.

Cons

As the title says 'Startup' it is struggling with 'management of the management'. 1. Right now since Dallas Creation centre is handling international projects there are multiple managers (for different country) managing the same resource. This adds redundancy to an employee reporting the same thing to multiple managers which leads to overhead and frustration. 2. Work culture is bureaucratic. Directors only speak to managers for feedback, managers only speak to Team leads and teams leads .... If the company doesn't recognize each employee as a partner and treats equally then a 'Master-Butler' relationship originates. 3. Attrition rate had increased since last year. This had created a sense of insecurity amongst the employees. Nobody can openly express their views in front of their managers. 4. Employee appreciation is non-existent. All that matters is work-result logistics.

Pros

My review is based on my experience working for the Group BBVA. Since BBVA Compass is part of it, my appreciation applies to BBVA Compass as well. One big family: I have been working for BBVA Group here in USA and in Peru and can speak by facts that we all are a big family that walk together under the same culture, ethical values, and goals. Direction: We know where we want to be, and we are working together, as a group, to be there. Senior Manager is very engaged in accomplish it. Opportunities: BBVA group is focus in bringing opportunities not only for our Customers, but also for us, employees. The "People Management" model, which is aligned to the strategies of BBVA group, opens doors of opportunities to grow withing the organization in USA and in other countries. The employee just need to be prepared to take the next step, and the group provides the venues to do it. Benefits: BBVA group encourages employees to find that balance between work and family. The employees are seen not only as Human Resources, but also as persons that have a life outside of the company. Therefore, in addition to the benefits that most of large companies offer in USA, BBVA Compass offers paid time off for events in the employee's life such as: new married, paternity leave, employee appraisal. The benefits are better compared to other companies.

Cons

In BBVA Compass, some middle managers need to understand and make theirs what BBVA Group and BBVA Compass stand for.
