      It's been good, but feels like things are changing.

      Pros

      the company supports healthy work life balance overall, caveat being that it really depends on your manager. most managers work out fine as the company does make an honest effort to ensure people would fit culturally prior to hiring. the people make up the culture and are by in large the biggest pro.

      Cons

      -i joined when the company was much smaller and the feeling of becoming a larger institution is definitely there. that said, in a perfect world this would create more opportunities. catch up here is clearly in order.

      Pros

      Silicon Valley Bank is the market leader in providing banking services to venture capital backed technology and life science companies and venture capital firms that back them. SVB has a very strong brand, platform, and network of relationships that differentiates it from other banks and makes it relatively easy to sell to venture backed companies or those aspiring to be venture backed. Relative to other commercial banks, SVB can be more entrepreneurial and is willing to take some venture risk. SVB aspires to be a great company and a great place to work. The benefits are very good.

      Cons

      SVB is sometimes drunk on its own Kool Aid. Rapid growth has probably placed the bank in a situation where some policies and infrastructure is lacking for an oranization of its size. Career development and opportunities for career advancement are limited outside of divisional headquarters.

      Pros

      No pros as of now.

      Cons

      It's one of the worst place to work where senior management have no experience managing resources and work.they are being hired only for micromanagent. No ethics how to speak with colleagues.
