First Republic reviews

Leadership at the top of the IT department is positional, paranoid and power-centric. Dissent is seen as insubordination and punished accordingly. There is no appetite for diversity of perspectives. Anyone outside of the 8th floor is regarded as suspect. Decision making is done in a vacuum - 2 or 3 people at the top - even when decisions affect organizations many levels below. Input and dialogue with department VPs and leads is simply non-existent. A recent IT reorg was so badly handled, it devastated trust which is one of the hallmarks of FRB company values. People are still fearfully coming up from the rubble.

Deposit services function was to support various departments, branches, and clients. Those days are over. There is no team work as that is discouraged. If you did not come from Union Bank, then there will be no room for advancement. The accountability program implemented by the upper management is a sham. It is a very unhealthy place to work.
