Pros
A large company with a wide range of work opportunities The stock exchange listing forces management to be transparent Good work life balance
Cons
The DWS is no longer what it stood for. Senior management does not make entrepreneurial decisions, but maximizes its own profits without considering next generations. Interest in the customer exists only if the quick money can be made. A deep analysis does not take place, as one knows it e.g. from investment banks. Long-time employees are often treated in such a way that one hopes they would leave by themselves instead of using their expertise and efficiency. Sometimes it is close to bullying. Buddy Buddy Business in management. Performance doesn't count, only who knows whom. Nice for those who are in the inner circle. Expertise in your job is extremely hindering for the career. Buzzwords instead of content: digital initiative, artificial intelligence, state of the art. A good number of employees have given up their hope - confidential conversations and employee surveys reveal this. Sales and portfolio management act completely independently of each other. The majority of fund managers are disillusioned because they are not covered. Sales doesn't know what to sell. Benefits such as holiday carryovers and time value accounts, which were common for decades, were cancelled in order to quickly show a few euros in the balance sheet. Even the DB still has these benefits. The allocation of parking spaces is officially neutral according to some criteria, but the different treatment is obvious with colleagues who are in the same street and have the same family circumstances. Parking spaces are sometimes cancelled if someone expresses criticism. The management is often completely ignorant of the competition. After all, we are number the number one, they think!
