Turnover rates seem to be high because junior staff are discouraged by their compensation, compared to elsewhere. It might be more productive to invest more in the research team so that they expect a long term relationship with the bank.

Cons

Very long hours depending on what group you are in, and compensation does not reflect the hours you are required to work.
Overload of work, and not enough employees to spread the work.
And no set annual review system in place, leaving the employee aimlessly wondering "Is my hard work going to be rewarded with a promotion of some sort?"

Advice to Senior Management

Let the employees know you care, and want them to succeed as they help the group/company to succeed. Give them recoginition of the hard work they put in, and reward them for it. The lack of doing this only drive the best and brightest talents away from the company to seek better opportunities elsewhere.

BBVA is continuously showing a strategic vision of the financial sector. Has a clear focus on innovation and the capacity to continue growing in different markets and segments. Provides multiple evaluation tools to determine your strengths and areas of development, both on performance and competencies, helping you define a clear and realistic plan with your supervisor. In my particular case, BBVA has provided me with real Career opportunities and I've been promoted to the Exec. Management Team 2 years ago. BBVA is a strong bank working with a Glocal vision, International diversification and with a view to continue growing in those markets which can provide better opportunities. Company values are aligned with my personal values.

Cons

There are certain technology issues that has to be solved. I know that they are working on solutions, but in certain occasions it may take a little bit longer than expected to get things done. Certain matrix organization structures may affect the speed of change necessary to launch new initiatives. Occasionally you may experience certain peaks of work that may lead you to long hours in the office.

Advice to Senior Management

To launch new initiatives it is necessary to take decisions even when they may not be totally agreed by everyone. Not taking the right decisions on time may lead us to a static organization incapable to grow.

Pros

They treat you with respect and they allow you to do your job as you consider is best, the grade of delegation is notable high.

Cons

The way to promote in the company is not very clear and, in many ocassions, it depends you know the right person regardless if you have done a good work

Advice to Senior Management

They shoul review the promotion policy and Human Resources should be more independent in order to carry out this policy.
