Pros

You can learn to navigate a snake pit. Also, could potentially learn to avoid being eaten by piranhas.

Cons

Well, the only time that you will get a raise is if you are promoted. The problem is that promotions are incredibly difficult to secure. The easier way to get promoted at DB is to get a job at another company, then come back a year later at a higher corporate rank. There is no governance process for the hiring at a given corporate rank, but if you seek a promotion within the organization, tons and tons of hurdles to overcome. Good luck.

Pros

Annual raises and variable bonuses, Hybrid schedule, kind people, lots of events for making connections

Cons

Difficult to get an interview unless you have a referral. Otherwise not really any cons, I’ve only been here for a year so can’t really speak yet to any hindrances that might come when trying to get promoted, etc.
