      -Managers ar either incredible/outstanding or incompetent/lack experience to help improve the culture -Everyone is overworked and underpaid -cClient support managers are only out to protect each other. Our feedback and issues stop with them and they either dilute the message to the top level and HR or don't share it.

      Beware IT people, this company is no more employee friendly

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Co-workers were friendly and helpful. - Balanced benefits - Unlimited vacations.

      Cons

      - Company laid off talented people from GDB(ramp down reason). Other groups having openings for the same roles.instead of retaining these people SVB is hiring people from outside. - Upper management expectations are unrealistic. - Business stakeholders and upper management are vision-less. - Hands down the worst middle management ever in GDB- IT, absolutely no inter-personal skills, passively aggressive and yes men dummies. All are neither technically savvy nor efficient people managers. - Joining GDB-IT is a career suicide.

      Horrible Work environment in IT. Avoid if you can.

      Pros

      The company is doing well and pays fairly well.

      Cons

      The worst management I have ever encountered in a technology job. IT is overweight with managers who cannot do the work of the team they are managing, do not understand technology, and undervalue their team members. If you are looking for employment, you should avoid this organization and this company. Your skills and experience will not be valued, and any career development will need to be done on your own.
