Pros
Not anymore - you screwed up lives and retirement for so many employees who stayed loyal to SVB's culture and the success of our clients.
Cons
Many employees had flagged the issues long time ago. When the "Big bank theory" started in 2017, the influx of unqualified people from larger banks was unstoppable. all you needed to do is to have "Wells Fargo" "Capital One" or other few big names on your resume and you would get C-level position at SVB without any qualifications whatsoever. FED never questioned any of that, not in Risk, not in Fraud or Cyber Security, to say the least. The knowledgeable and dedicated employees, who built the bank , were pushed aside by "big wigs" that are nothing but unwanted employees at other banks. Finally, here we are. The incompetent rookies hired more incompetent rookies based on good old boys club and few women and gay to suppress diversity complaints. Ruined the bank for nothing.
