Pros

As a Project Manager in the Engineering department, I have the opportunity to support multiple initiatives across multiple lines of business. Dedicated to Agile practices, things are very fast-paced here. An entrepreneurial, self-directed approach is encouraged for problem-solving and issue resolution. In my view, BBVA is a tech company that sells banking products and services while putting the customer first, versus other banks where they are catching up to engage customers digitally. Every day is a new opportunity around here - and one that I look forward to each day. My tip to new applicants: when interviewing, provide specific examples of how your experience will apply to the new position.

Cons

I came in as a contract worker and after 18 months converted to a full time employee of BBVA Compass. However, it was worth the wait in order to convert to the right position for my skillset.
