Pros

I have heard other complain about work life balance but in my department that is taken seriously. I have volunteered to handle things on my vacation and my manager has been adamant that unless it is a special case that vacations are days off and she makes me find someone else to handle the task.

Cons

I think that most departments are not flexible to handle other development tasks although I hear that may change. The result is there are times where one department may be overwhelmed and has to work extreme schedules while another department is scrambling to find stuff to do. Another complaint is poor planning. I was trained to be a scrum master but there are no currently no open scrum master positions. Also there is a talent development plan but is less interactive than in the past to the point that I don't see any value in it at all.

Thanks for providing your honest feedback. While we are glad you feel positively about the flexibility, autonomy, and benefits available at BBVA Compass, we hate that you faced issues while here. Stable goals are important for everyone’s success, and any changes to those goals should be communicated clearly to employees. We want employees to feel inspired and empowered to help us bring the age of opportunity to everyone, but we understand that a solid foundation built on consistent goals is key. If you’d like to share more about your experience and help us as we seek to continually improve, please reach out to us at 888-474-3575.
