Silicon Valley Bank reviews

The SVB hug is a well known term in the industry. Often times the bank tries to get too many people involved in client facing processes. It's far worse internally. Most of the managers give others the tasks of building internal processes without thinking about either the end user or the people who have to do the work. The result is a mess of interactions where too many people are involved doing deep dives for a client meeting will not use all of the information. In other words, processes are over designed and crises are manufactured. The pay and compensation is below average The company puts in many more resources into graduates of their Associate Development Program but have a terrible onboarding process for outside hires. It is very difficult for outside hires to thrive in a strategic environment due to the breath of processes, departments, and other variables and factors.

- technology is so terrible that I probably spend 2/3 of my week updating repetitive trackers and submitting compliance crap. I don't mind bc I get paid the same either way, but there's truly so much of that nonsense to fit in it sucks - No indication of any Covid-related raises despite the retention issues. I'll probably end up going to a diff bank since they're poaching us anyways - Commercial Banking also blows. Some deals are cool but most of your clients will just have credit cards but you still have to cater to them just as much. This isn't a substitute for IB if you actually want to exit to something good in finance - Hit or miss on ADP/rotation managers (as expected anywhere) - they make it seem like they care but will never address real issues that people have. work-life balance has severely gone downhill and upper management thinks the solution is to come back to the office regularly. What?
