Pros

Great place to work, location is great in NY and they are planning to move to upper west side which will be even nicer. Need to get into right teams for growth

Pros

Pros at DB include great work-life balance. The people are great; during my three year tenure I forged lifelong friendships with people I'll be in touch with for the rest of my life. Vacation days for those at the analyst/associate level can go up to 28 days for the full year, include rollover days, which is awesome! Fairly lax management who allows you to take the reigns without too much micromanagement. This obviously depends on the team, but I was on three different teams in three years and found that I was able to have free reign without too much pushback under the management I had to deal with.

Being able to have full access to the cafeteria in the basement as well as good La Colombe coffee across the street is also a nice perk. Everything you need is essentially within an arm's reach in FiDi.

Advice to Management

This advice is more to the board of directors: stop cost-cutting in a way that is penny-wise and pound foolish. Look at revamping infrastructure instead of creating a self-checkout pantry so you don't have to pay someone to scan items for us. Incentivize and set a new standard for the corporate culture in Jacksonville so onshore offices can feel like we are working with people who actually care about keeping the place afloat. Lastly, definitely stop expanding your India offices; the turnover is so high and the management there has no sense of the bigger picture and is only interested in handing over process memos to their new hires without any consideration for thinking outside the box.

Good luck.

Pros

Great people, good base pay, diverse culture, engaged employee resource groups

Advice to Management

Rethink processes - let's take the time to rethink our processes and how we spend our resources. Challenge the status quo and listen to ideas. We should take the time to revamp how we do things to do them smarter, more efficient and with fewer resources. Doing something the way we have always done it does not work anymore and we need to re-evaluate how we make decisions. Hire the right people so you don't need so many approvals to action any action or change. If you trust your employees, empower them with opportunities to make a difference

Pros

Friendly coworkers, good starting point.

Advice to Management

Trust your employees. Stop micromanaging and treating your workers like children. This isn’t high school.

Pros

The lowest level employee receives a four week holiday. There are opportunities to make lateral moves within the company within 18 months.

Advice to Management

I wouldn't know where to start

Pros

The majority of others who worked there were a pleasure to be around. The company promotes healthy lifestyles by sponsoring activities away from the office (e.g. soccer, basketball, volleyball, golf, softball, kickball). Good cafeterias on both campuses. Very good benefits package. The most generous amount of vacation days out of all companies for which I've worked.

Pros

flexibility, opportunities, learning , growth, enriching

Advice to Management

Less changes in Mgmt, improve speed of execution
