Pros

1) Awesome colleagues, 2) Leadership really cares about clients and employees. 3) You feel empowered at work and want to do well for our clients and SVB.

Cons

1) Too many Org changes result in extroverts and favorites getting promoted instead of considering peoples caliber or work. 2) Work life balance goes out of wack for people who care about what they do. Leadership encourage employees to take vacation (in words) but keep piling work despite lack of capacity which is oxymoronic. 3) Product vertical always seem to forget that "Empathy" is our core value. Also it doesn't feel like we are "One SVB" but 2 totally separate teams.

Pros

Good bank to work for

Cons

The level of nepotism and incompetence in Fraud Organization is mind boggling - the Sr leadership is ruining organization and only "friends and family" have a chance to strive. The organization have had struggled for years and it's has been continuously ruined over last 3 years to the point of no return. Talented and dedicated employees are completely overlooked and bullied out of organization, the structure of unaccountability, bad business project management, favoritism, incompetence of the leadership team creates toxic environment and is affecting delivery of critical enterprise project.
