This is the worst bank to work for

Pros

Very much a 9-5 job. Good work life balance. Generous vacation.

Cons

Keep in mind I worked at the New York office. The morale at the office is terrible. They offer a hybrid arrangement (three days in office) but one of the days must be a Monday or Friday. You will almost NEVER get a raise. Whatever salary you come in at is where you will stay. Look at other reviews if you don’t believe me. The bonus structure is sketchy. They changed the calculation in 2023 and nobody understands it. When you quit they don’t pay out for unused vacation. They are the cheapest organization I’ve ever worked for. There are layoffs every quarter. The office is an open floor with no assigned desks. You get a locker like you are in high school. Should I go on? Maybe in Germany it is different, I don’t know.

Pros

My immediate group of co-workers are great and work/life balance has been good so far. Good amount of PTO given.

Cons

You will not get a raise unless you are promoted, which is difficult to accomplish, especially in their very heavy DEI culture. It doesn't matter if you are a top performer and regular go above and beyond your role. The fact that everyone is dealing with insanely high inflation and cost of living increases does not matter to the decision-makers in Germany. Training is mediocre at best. You are provided training when you first join but it does not cover everything and there are little to no references you go turn to for help. You will only know you did something wrong when your supervisor points it out. Training is essentially learning from your mistakes during your first year.
