      Pros

      What's better than assisting ultra high potential, cutting edge, venture back companies achieve their goals? The venture capital industry is fascinating and the birthplace of the Google's, Salesforce's, First Solar's, Cisco, etc of the world. The experience is fantastic and the culture is positively good. By financing great companies, the bank themselves surely knows the recipe for success and is achieving it. They also challenge you to achieve higher levels of personal success.

      Cons

      Given there are multiple offices but limited resources, entry level personnel can be too spread too thinly, leading to lack of recognition and confusion over who manages who and who should report to who.

      Pros

      Silicon Valley Bank offers a good work life balance. It is a leader in its space and knows venture lending.

      Cons

      I question if it could be a serious competitor outside of venture lending. Nonetheless, it knows the business and seems to be doing well.
