Advice to Senior Management

more internship oppurtunities

Pros

Vacation days, benefits, pro sustainability, pro all inclusive workplace (Rainbow League, Women on Wall Street, Multi Cultural Partnership, etc.), opportunities for training.

Cons

Very lean company - some lines of business are more lean than others. The front office does not have the same stringent process re-engineering and outsourcing as middle and front office.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire more people in front office an middle office to improve morale. Outsourcing is not the answer for all processes as the work is usually redone onshore in US or UK.

Pros

The salary and benefits were great

Cons

The cons were a large organization where acknowledgement is difficult

Pros

The benefits are outstanding, medical, dental, vision, and vacation days. Interacting and meeting new people from around the world is very interesting and a great learning experience.
This is a good career for an entry level position, in the finance industry and also if you want to gain experience.

Cons

The pay is not good, for the workload and the expectations that is put on our plates. Loads of pressure to be perfect not humans.
Outsourcing is a huge issue. Saving money does not always ensure quality for the clients. Duh!
Extremely high turnover, which should cause a light bulb to go off to upper management.

Advice to Senior Management

Recognize the workers for their performance and don't emphasize mistakes more than accomplishments. Also, higher wages would be nice.

Pros

Good benefits. Perfect place if you don't aspire to grow your career. Just "roll with the flow", push paper and eat lunch at your desk.

Cons

Archaic IT, incompetent and unfair management, low pay, no recognition for hard work, favoritism.

Advice to Senior Management

Live up to DB brand. Be fair to your employees, pay a living wage (>32K for JAX). Try to avoid ( if you can) the high turnover that is consuming this site.

Pros

Nice people make the place livable, the pay is great as an investment bank, the company is pretty solid in comparison to peers, and it is still growing with a good reputation.

Incredibly harsh work hours, work life balance is out the door and different between employees, so it is a roll of a dice.

Please allow your analysts to live an acceptable life, and make sure that work is distributed evenly throughout the bank.
