      Pros

      Assignments are challenging and rewarding.

      Cons

      Easy to get pigeonholed into a project, with no opportunities to learn anything new or move up the corporate ladder. Rampant cronyism and nepotism which is the only way to advance. A lot of catty behavior from all levels of employment at the bank from directors all the way down to contractors. This makes coming to work unbearable.

Creating a positive environment where team members have opportunities to advance in their careers is important to us, which is why we’ve introduced an internal mobility model to encourage internal talent to apply for other roles within the bank.

      Pros

      BBVA Compass puts people in the center of what we do, whether its the client or the employee. They are innovative, caring, supportive, responsible, agile, transparent and have a culture that I feel a part of that is diverse, inclusive and allows for opportunities for career advancement.

      Cons

      We are in a transformative stage with our structure but it is not a con, it is change but exciting and necessary.

      Billion Dollar Startup !!!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company subsidiary Dallas Creation Centre has huge potential since its favors open platforms and hence open ideas. Fintech is at its core. It explores all avenues of technology to attract businesses. It has the resources to make it big in US market. Salary is competitive but bonuses are poor.

      Cons

      As the title says 'Startup' it is struggling with 'management of the management'. 1. Right now since Dallas Creation centre is handling international projects there are multiple managers (for different country) managing the same resource. This adds redundancy to an employee reporting the same thing to multiple managers which leads to overhead and frustration. 2. Work culture is bureaucratic. Directors only speak to managers for feedback, managers only speak to Team leads and teams leads .... If the company doesn't recognize each employee as a partner and treats equally then a 'Master-Butler' relationship originates. 3. Attrition rate had increased since last year. This had created a sense of insecurity amongst the employees. Nobody can openly express their views in front of their managers. 4. Employee appreciation is non-existent. All that matters is work-result logistics.
