      Pros

      Nothing anymore. It’s run by a family owned bank that doesn’t value different opinions

      Cons

      Used to be a great place to work until the bank failure and it was bought by first citizens. Since being bought by first citizens is has gone downhill in terms of people, leadership, benefits, respect, culture, etc. it’s not what it was nor will it ever go back to that time of SVB being SVB. Lots of turn over of good people since the acquisition. All the good people are leaving.
