First Republic Reviews

Working at FRB was a huge mistake, a lot of my colleagues have left or are actively searching to leave. Work Life Executives/management are disconnected from the day to day work and treat employees poorly. There is no flexibility with working remotely which is unusual these days. People often spend 2-3 hours commuting in the Bay Area which is the norm. My spouse and children would rarely see me on weekdays. Low Pay One of the reasons of the turnover is the below market compensation. Morale is low and most of my colleagues only think of this place as a short-term gig. Lack of Infrastructure Technology in this organization is a good 10+ years old and poorly implemented. This leads to layers of workarounds and there is a high margin of error in which employees are held responsible for. If you are an individual contributor you will be working long hours.

this place suffers from a massive amount of nepotism. they have rules in place that don't quite apply uniformly. There are so many unqualified people promoted because their mother, or dads are in senior management. Your supposed to stay in your position for 18 months. as mentioned before, it only applies to certain groups of people. The older white RM's pretty much make all of the rules because they bring in deposits. this place is not diverse. Pretty much everyone that works here is white, blonde hair and blue eyes. There's really no opportunity for advancement. when you apply for internal roles, you're not even give the respect of an email. I've worked here for 3 years and haven't learned any skills that can translate anywhere else. Working here has been my biggest professional regret. while this place on the outside seems like an amazing place it is not. i'd recommend working at another high end bank.
