Silicon Valley Bank reviews

The IT group was a professionally run unit up until 2013. Once the CEO's changed hands, the banking operations group was given the IT group with disastrous consequences that are still very evident to this day. The group lost/fired very competent senior leadership during the turn over and the IT group has essentially turned into order takers rather than being thought leaders. Culture has taken a devastating hit for the worst and is unlikely to recover. A real shame.

The job you end up doing is nowhere near the job you applied for. Work life balance doesn't exist. Management and staff are cliquey and unfriendly to anyone outside of their little 'gangs'. It's like being in high school, lots of whispers & eye rolling. Management completely micro manage everything, no ability to work your own way. It's the managers way or no way. Salary doesn't reflect the amount of hours, or the job. Massively under staffed so everyone is constantly trying to blunder through huge work loads.
