      Pros

      Work here at temporary and to look for something else better.

      Cons

      Most employees in engineering/IT are old/lazy, they don't have skills set to adapt new technologies nowadays that's why they still work there. Those smart engineers go in and then move to work for better companies. There is politic, the management hires and brings their people. Even though their people can't do the work, they hire consultant to do the projects/tasks.

      Pros

      Really great learning opportunity--SVB works with some of the most innovative companies in both tech and life science. Vertical and horizontal mobility across the bank, provided that you work hard and show face. Nice people with a great culture.

      Cons

      Salary not competitive with other banks. Lack of transparency in the promotion process. Company in scaling, but is slow to hire additional employees, which affects the work/life balance of associates and VPs.
