Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than a year

ProsIts a big brand name and pays decent compensation. Better for those who want to work less and network more.

ConsDifficult to achieve self-respect there. Till the time results are satisfactory, nobody bothers to look at right or wrong.

Advice to Senior ManagementVision of a great upper management has got blurred at the hands of local authorities

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Moscow (Russia)

Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than 7 years

ProsYou get an exposure to the real banking world. Opportunity to develop/support business critical applications, this is just amazing. This is great chance to understand business processes.

ConsIt is very hard to get promotion (new corporate title). There is almost no chance to relocate to UK/US via "mobility" program, it only works for high-cost regions (Moscow is treated similar to Bombay in this sense).

Advice to Senior ManagementDB Moscow is a major supplier of high qualified developers to other banks in mid/high cost locations. Think why.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Moscow (Russia)

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThis is a big company which is "too huge to fall". Relatively high salaries here.

ConsThere are lots of bureaucracy everywhere. Software development processes are not in common use and most of the management don't even understand how processes should server the development.

– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank full-time

ProsIt's a major bank and therefore a good name on your resume. You are left alone to do your work - contact with managers and team members is minimal, it's entirely possible to go the whole day without speaking to anyone.

ConsIf the manager doesn't like you then you will go nowhere. The bonus pool is split between a few of the managers favorites, and has nothing to do with rewards for good work.

Promotion never happens - they always hire new people in from outside, so the only way to move up is to move on.

managers shout at employees. It's pretty much the opposite of a friendly fun place to work.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
