Pros

-Company/mamagement commitment to enhancing the work culture -Better than average benefits, particularly regarding paid time off for middle to upper level employees -Flexible work environment and hours -Broad access to education materials -Relatively clear pay grade system -Bonus plan can pay out pretty well

Cons

-YoY raises can be stingy, particularly for high performers -Your initial salary when coming onboard sets the pace for your future salary, and that is when you have the most power to negotiate normally. All future increases are percentages based off of your starting salary and tied to your grade. Current system doesn't take into account market value very well. -How you are treated by management can vary greatly from department to department. Often depends on what C-level or EVP/SVP you roll up under. -Technology in general is rough. It is getting better, but there are some pretty ridiculous technology issues. -Doesn't always do a good job of testing out newly implemented ideas. New initiatives will get implemented often without proper analysis and vetting.

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
