      Pros

      Great growth story and good company to work for.

      Cons

      New CIO Beth Devin completly ruined the IT organization. She does not have a clue on what she is doing. She just bad mouths her own team in business interactions. She has no respect in IT. Team morale is completely down and her own leadership team is just working under fear. "OneIT" = "Say yes to what ever CIO says".

      Pros

      SVB has a great culture and stands behind their employees with the exception of their new CIO Beth Devin.

      Cons

      IT morale is at an all time low. The CIO has had IT in a re-org for over a year now and still not finished. She has dissolved one of the highest performing departments and split them up across all the other depts. She moved people and created new teams before even having job descriptions or team charters. She spends more time in the business side instead of leading her IT dept. She gives more responsibility to a department that is known throughout the organization to be under performing, then goes ahead and fires the head of that department les then two month after making the change. At the same time, she fires the head of the department she dissolved even though that person successfully build a brand new team and was delivering on his tasks. She is now just cutting anyone that does not agree with her whether they are performing or not.
