Pros

Benefits package CSR Name Internal job mobility is promoted Global presence, opportunities available to work in most key deutsche bank hubs

Cons

Poor senior management - Severe lack of direction, some are promoted not on merit but on who they know. Worryingly, there are some senior managers, especially in technology who are protected by senior MD's. This "allows" them to behave in any manner they wish, resulting in a bullying culture and some very talented people leaving the bank. Difficult Promotion process - Although in technology there is a more structured promotion process, the management in charge are not always the right people to make the right decisions. Promotions should be based on meritocracy and the persons ability to work at that level. I agree that a SME that struggles to work with others is a difficult candidate to promote and justifiaby needs to improve this aspect if they are to be promoted. There are many examples of employees who get promoted based on length of service, surely something any tier 1 investment bank should not do if they are to remain competitive.
