Pros

If you're independent and resourceful (and resilient) and can spend as much time building internal alliances and promoting your personal brand as you do in market generating new business - you will be successful here. If on the other hand you succceed more with mature infrastructure, business process, and general management... you may have difficulty at SVB, which is experiencing growing pains.

Cons

For a bank their size, they are at least 10-years behind in business process, IT investment (internal automation / collaboration / data management and client facing applications) and client experience management, which impacts every department.
