      Pros

      Great people to work with. Care about their employees. Interesting industries to cover.

      Cons

      There are not a ton of downsides. I think compensation can often be a little lower than market but my opinion is most people think it's worth it given all the other aspects of working there.

      Competitive and free-wheeling 'star' culture

      Pros

      If you're independent and resourceful (and resilient) and can spend as much time building internal alliances and promoting your personal brand as you do in market generating new business - you will be successful here. If on the other hand you succceed more with mature infrastructure, business process, and general management... you may have difficulty at SVB, which is experiencing growing pains.

      Cons

      For a bank their size, they are at least 10-years behind in business process, IT investment (internal automation / collaboration / data management and client facing applications) and client experience management, which impacts every department.
