Pros

SVB had the best culture of any company I have ever worked for. The people were fantastic, the opportunities were wonderful, the salary was competitive, and the benefits were top notch.

Cons

So sad that there was a run on the bank and it got seized by the FDIC.

Pros

Pay and benefits were great.

Cons

Unforgiving workload. Too many interruptions often led to a feeling of urgency as we scrambled to keep up. The department was often forgotten about and left to develop its own workaround for a complete failure of the main system used for the department's workflow without any additional staffing, assistance, or timeline on a new internal system.
