Silicon Valley Bank reviews

Very poor management and leadership skills below exec level, and a few newer ones at C-level are failing as well. No one is cultivating the incredible talent at all levels; there is no scouting of the rich pool of talent within the bank that needs mentoring and elevating. "home grown" is falling away. Career paths in finance are nil. Finance, IT, Ops and HR have some critical negative political black holes that need removing. Huge amount of confusion which fuels politics, leads to nonproductivity; the company is losing its edge and good people will, and are, leaving.

Middle management progressively going from bad to worst Major down trending of employee moral and management not able or willing to do anything about it Senior Management team made of good, smart people but are ultimately responsible for trend of employee dissatisfaction Erratic cost cutting measures. (Catch the bus from the airport to your room at the W) Bizarre Mom & Pop review process that unnecessarily time consuming and complicated. Does not scale well to large organisations VERY bloated IT department for the size of the company. Has the mentality of throwing money and outsourcing at the problem The Bank wants very badly to have the prestige of being one of "the best places to work" but is not willing to focus resource to keep it As others have mentioned before, favoritism is alive and raging in the company as never before. If you "drink the kool-aid" and swallow your ethics you can really go places
