Pros

DB is a great place to work if you are looking for work/life balance, 4 week vacation package, great 401K match (except that it's not paid until 1Q of following year).

Cons

Compensation is weak and below market. DB has also instituted a policy to only provide salary increases with promotions, which means NO adjustments whatsoever. Managers are not incentives to provide growth opportunities. Very difficult to move up the food chain.

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.
