      Pros

      SVB has great product, most innovative debt financing portfolios, and has a lot do focus on pay for performance.

      Cons

      The CIO is able to say all the Buzz words (culture, transformation, game changing) without any substances or depth. If you are looking for a broken recorder than repeats what's wrong but doesn't have strategy nor ability to rally the team to fix them, you got the right lady. IT spending is at all time high, so much money wasted with no result. Surprisingly I year after being part of IT, she can still talk about IT issues as if she is an outsider. Absolutely no demonstration of ownership nor accountability.

      Pros

      This review is from someone who has been in SVB IT for almost 2 years. Great opportunities to grow skills and business acumen. A leadership team that really listens and promotes equality. Women have equal opportunity to advance. Great pay and conditions. The business challenges and motivated people make it a pleasure to come to work. CIO has a great vision to transform IT.

      Cons

      Some long term IT people have old values and are too comfortable in their jobs. These people form cliques and unfortunately undermine progress with passive-aggressive behavior.
