Pros

Very inclusive culture which is also evident from the top. Head of EMEA and his management committee walk around, spend time talking to people, hearing everybody's ideas.

Cons

More inclusion opportunities for newbies

Pros

Weekends and holidays away from the culture (cult)

Cons

Breathtaking level of dishonesty, incompetence and inappropriate behavior without any productive initiatives. No moral compass. Poor systems. Petty, vindictive people. The recent positive reviews on this site are not real. Nobody I know agrees with those comments.

Pros

Office location, transport links, nothing else

Cons

Everything else. I genuinely think any of the good reviews on this site for SVB must be fake, it was honestly the worst working experience of my life on every level and everyone around me outside of management level agreed it was the same for them. SVB talks a big talk about being hot on innovation and leading edge but in reality everything is out dated and a shambles. The managers have been selected solely based on their employment length rather than any sort of skill. Do not accept an offer from these people if you know what’s good for you.
