Deutsche Bank Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than a year

Pros – Very good exposure to senior management, ability to have a good work/life balance, challenging yet rewarding

Cons – If you're not in London or Frankfurt could feel like you're on the outside

Advice to Senior Management – Be more willing to change

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – If you're after stability, Db will give that to you.
Also great location for family - if you want to get away from London

Cons – As there isn't much other investment banking companies in Birmingham you will find it hard to negotiate salaries etc and will probably have to stay out unless you're willing to move location.

Advice to Senior Management – More opportunities for loyal employees are needed...

Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – The team I was working in works hard but knows how to give and take too. Training is available for all staff where and when the need arises. The team are friendly, supportive and there is a collegiate culture in the workspace.
They also have very nice staff facilities and benefits.

Cons – They have a policy of employing temp support staff limited to 45 weeks at a time and however good you are, you cannot stay any longer, if you are a temp PA or EA.

Advice to Senior Management – Consider employing temps for the duration of the term when your employee is off work. It is a false economy to keep rotating door syndrome going because you have to keep reinventing the wheel as a new temp takes over from another's role where it might be best to keep the current incombant going, if they are good and want to stay.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank as an intern for more than a year

Pros – Opportunities for development, good benefits, if you know how to organise yourself you can have a very good work-life balance, easy interaction with management due to proximity.

Cons – Atmosphere depends on which part of the bank you are working in.
Due to the size of the company (huge) things may take a long time to happen (new hires, important decisions, day to day tasks)

Advice to Senior Management – Would be good if they worked on improving the inestabilty feeling that can be felt inside the bank due to economic events - sometimes management makes strange and rapid decisions that soon are vanished cause it didnt worked like planned

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – A great work-life balance, heavily investing in new technology, and diverse opportunities

Cons – Middle of the road compensation, and lots of bureaucracy/poor processes

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Strong business areas means good opportunity to make money. Some smart technology solutions available. Varied success with outsourcing to India, Russia, etc.

Cons – Weak management and lots of red tape means easy things are frustratingly hard to get done. Effectiveness of technology determined by relationship with business, as you'd expect, but bank structure doesn't always promote effective relationships.

Advice to Senior Management – Loosen the bonds of control to gain agility ... The currents setup gives the illusion of control but doesn't in reality help stop bad decisions.

Current Employee – been working at Deutsche Bank full-time for less than a year

Pros – Great people working on exciting projects. But what I appreciate the most is the Corporate Social responsibility...and especially that the bank does not shout it out loud to gain brownie points. It just does it quietly. I never knew how much Deutsche Bank does for the communities. Paid volunteer days, donation matching, community projects, cultural and social sponsorships, and, and, and...just amazing.

Cons – So far I see no Deutsche Bank specific cons. Well, it is a financial institution in a troubled financial market. But the effects for my job are rather on the pros as it makes the daily job extremely challenging and exciting.
