      Culture changed for the worse

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Over the last 4 years the org has developed a great culture - Benefits package is aligned to market - Some talented staff and a company with ambition

      Cons

      - The awesome culture developed by the Board over the last three / four years has now completely evaporated across Global Services which is driven by leadership resulting in a hugely unhappy workforce across all levels. - Hugely aggressive, policical and huge bully (increasing) culture common practice and encouraged across Global Services which sucks and is now almost accepted as normal / acceptable business practice. - Core systems are poor. - Career suicide to join SVB GS at present unless you have a background at Visa and a 'yes' man

      What a mess of a company

      Analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule as long as you're always working

      Cons

      Actual job that you were hired for / what they sold you is nowhere near reality. Gross understaffing of key operations/support groups leads to being pulled into tasks / made to own business processes that you aren't skilled for, want no part of, and detract from your 'real' work. IT/Core business systems are ridiculously outdated and should have been dealt with years ago. Outright lied to about salary.

      Some the greatest teams and individuals I have ever worked with
