      Pros

      Good place for new graduates to start out - move on once you have some experience.

      Cons

      Your physical attractiveness, youth and who you know are the most important factors for success here. There is an obvious bias to hire from outside for all upper management positions.

      Pros

      SVB is an extraordinary company. Yes, we have amazing clients and a great position in the market, but that's not why I work here. I choose to work here because of the people. Every single person I know who works here (or who has previously) is a believer, a builder, and an optimist. Like any company of humans, it's not perfect. But, what keeps us going and growing is our sense of purpose and seeing the impact each of us can have, every day.

      Cons

      We continue to grow quickly, so change is constant. Our pace is fast.

      Poor Management and out dated systems

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Great teammates, fun team outings, Bank is great at spending money

      Cons

      Management isn’t in tune with the actual people doing the work. Systems are very outdated and clunky. Having to use many systems for one task. Career opportunities only if you’re willing to relocate to CA, AZ or MA.
