Pros

It has a lot of benefits, from top EPS health insurance to an embedded gym (it is not free tho). Long-time, indefinite contract is the only option.

Cons

Most workers and specially L1 managers are quite old and reluctant to change. You may find a hard time being nominated as a top-talent, specially if you are young and new. Its kinda sad for me to see people that have beeen working for 10+ years and are ganinig the same salary since they started. As a non-software big corporation, their processes are quite slow, innefficient and too burocratic (literally 90% of the time is just asking clearance to the respective team).

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
