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.

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
