Deutsche Bank reviews

Career/Compensation. This is a black hole of hiring analysts/associates and keeping them junior till they have no other option but to leave. The general perception on the street is pretty bad for DBCenter.(Goldman's Salt Lake City office is considered far better) Essentially the problem is a lot of Vertical Managers who should be in HR but are making decisions that they do not understand. To move up in the organization, it becomes important to be on their good side, rather than do good work.

- The pay is not the greatest. What you come in with, you will be at for a while. You basically have to promote in order to get a raise. - The promotions seem to be more political or based on favoritism, rather than merit and hard work. - Because of this, management is not typically as knowledgeable as they could be, and a lot of the job is up to the associates to figure it out. - Training is nonexistent for most roles. It's a sink or swim culture. - They have done some upgrades to the systems, but they are still slow. - They changed the hybrid schedule to a required 3 days a week, with barely 90 days' notice, to start in the summer when school is out. This is a huge inconvenience for employees, especially those that need to figure out childcare. - Morale is definitely low amongst a lot of associates. It has become very production and metrics driven, and some people have been laid off. I have heard multiple stories of employees being called out on team calls for not meeting metrics that are sometimes unreasonable. Your work-life balance is sometimes compromised in order to hit the numbers.
