Vantaggi
Working with some of the highliest skilled people in the industry with expansion in some of the most interesting markets. Very diverse staff, client, product and operating platform Comparatively good staff benefits Ongoing growth and opportunities particularly in Asia (despite of onsite job cut-downs due to ongoing smart- and outsourcing of processes into low-payment hubs in Manila, Berlin, Mumbai, New Jersey etc)
Svantaggi
Global senior management in Deutsche continues to very much be an old boy's club, chauvinism is omnipresent at this level, and gender discrimination is very common in mid and senior levels and part of the company culture (despite official policies and speeches). Similar discrepancies between official and inofficial company cultural values in many other areas. As an MD or Dir, be prepared to deal with a comparatively high rate of politics and silo-mentality standing in the way of efficiency and bank-wide cooperation Experimental minor and major restructurings, which often are short-sighted unaligned measures of pure activism, are ever present. Many things tend to go back to where they were after a certain amount of time - of course, as in many places, going back to former solutions is usually sold as yet another big innovation, not as a strategic mistake being corrected. Low buy-ins into and unspoken boycots of restructuring measures by mid and senior managers as a result. Recent year cost cutting programs and smartsourcing of jobs result in overall low job morale, resignation and frustration.
