      SVB Grows

      Pros

      The people are what makes this company great and SVB has long been a family of employees that care for each other and work together. SVB is a fair employer, with many employee benefits that outshine the rest.

      Cons

      In order to grow, change is required and sometimes overrides the core value of people first. In fairness this is the case in most companies that transition from small to large. Good Talent is also lost or overlooked in the race towards success.

      Change is happening for good at SVB

      Pros

      SVB is going through a transformation which I feel is strongly needed to adapt to the changing landscape in this niche space. Lot of changes across IT organization that could uplift the image of this group who were branded non performers by many business groups. IT usually take a lot of time to make any changes and the group was managed very inefficiently by various middle managers. The recent changes in the IT organization is bringing the rigor and discipline that is needed to run this organization. I see lot of good things happening for the future of the company

      Cons

      Employee to contractor ratio is very low. More SME and Engineering knowledge should be with the employees and not with the contractors. Too many vendor products and vendor resources makes software engineering not so attarctive for future hires
