Pros

- Advancement is based on meritocracy. - Benefits are among the best of it's competitors. - Compensation is based on performance. High performers are paid well. Low performers are not.

Cons

- The internal HR recruiting is not great which makes moving between different groups at DB dependent on individuals but this has improved over the past couple of years - Promotions can be very political as committees comprised of senior managers outside of evaluatee's organization are part of the process

Pros

Deutsche Bank is a good company to work for many reasons. Their compensation (401K, Time off, flexibility, Medical benefits) are quite good. In addition, the atmosphere is quite friendly and relaxed. During my time at the bank, I made a lot of friends and gained a lot of useful knowledge and experience that I will be able to take with me into my next career.

Cons

I personally did not have many negative experiences within the Bank. The only downside I did witness was that it was difficult to move up to a higher job title. It normally took years before upper management would promote you. Instead, the Bank was often content to higher someone outside the company for a position versus promoting from within.

Pros

Good benefits and compensation, opportunity to learn and advance career. Very entrepreneurial. This is really a global company with a very local feeling. The workforce is pretty young compared to other places i have observed which means the company is in tune with the coming generation. The good side about DB is that if you work hard and long, you get very paid and recognized for such efforts. Be warned, this is not a place you can hide. If you are bad at what you do, you won't advance.

Cons

Long working hours, no clear leadership structure, and very independent work environment which has its pros and cons. Personally i like these downsides.
