Pros
continued growth, great products, competent sales team, and always have opportunity to work on new things and solve challenges.
Cons
The compliance department is a joke, keeping hiring incompetent Chief Compliance Officers and all they do is to talking about change, buying time until themselves got fired. The newly appointment Chief Compliance Officer is the worst, if you ever wonder how Wells Fargo got into phony account opening scandal last year and shed management responsibility by firing floor level employees when things got exploded, well, he is the walking post of that rotten culture. it is well known by everyone at the Bank how he screwed up the BSA/AML division and openly talked about his ability of putting out "smoking mirrors" to upper management and examiners, now he is promoted to even run the compliance department. SVB is running a huge risk to become the 2016 Wells Fargo. It is about time to say emperor have no cloth and we can expect our compliance department will be populated from drones from Wells Fargo soon.
