Pros

The people are very talented and work hard The company is better at risk management than most DB's image on the street continues to improve

Cons

DB would like to be as diversified and dynamic as JPMorgan, and internally they have merged Corporate Finance with Sales & Trading, as well as bought Postbank to help with retail purchases. However, in several banking areas, they need to seriously invest in headcount and/or acquisitions.

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.
