      India Team has no recognition of their work. They are treated like Consultants

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home CEO is having empathy towards employee

      Cons

      Bad Politics. No value of Indian Employee.No recognition. No use of Indian director. All that matters is how is your us manager. They can only give you incrememt or promotions. If in US there are 5 promotions in India hardly there will be 1 promotion. Long working hours for Indian Employee.(9 A.M to 10 P.M). nobody cares about it only they will tell this is not a good culture. No Promotions for Indian employee. Indian leadership don't have courage to fight with Us leadership in any aspect. Maximum 1 to 2 years prople can work here.(if you don't believe reach out to any current employee beforr joining.

      SVB Strengths/Weaknesses

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      SVB is rapidly growing and has a huge market share banking venture companies. That feeds Capital (investing arm), Investment Bank (was Leerink) and the Private Bank is a work in progress. The menu of options on the investment side is weak, and they have not been able to distribute proprietary product thru the PB. PB can't compete with the OCIOs very well.

      Cons

      SVB has had rapid headcount growth and brings folks on as a "Contractor" which offers no benefits, no vacation time, no sick days, so in short, nothing. As this is from a bank that is committed to being a good corporate citizen and wants increased diversity. A joke.
