Pros
Great benefits, competitive pay. Great people. Expect to have great working relationships for the most part. Growing company, always room to try out another role or have newly created positions arise.
Cons
The sales teams are the gems of SVB. All of the great perks seem to be on that side which is to be expected to a degree. However operational positions do not get the recognition or pay they deserve, especially with volumes increasing exponentially as the company tries to scale. SVB tends to jump the gun on new products/vendors that operational teams have to adapt to quickly only to find that the product makes our job harder and decreases efficiency. We have 5 systems that do the same thing for everything at the bank. SVB also tends to choose our client's products at a discount even if it's not the best choice.
