Pros
Deutsche Bank has been less impacted by the current credit crisis and is in fact considered a go to company by clients concerned about the stability of some of the other banks. This means that there are a lot of opportunities to increase the banks market share and future profitability. Communication from management has improved drastically in the last year and there is a lot of self analysis on how to improve the work environment and how to retain staff. To me this suggests that they are aware that employees are the most crucial asset in being a successful investment bank. Deutsche Bank provides 16 weeks paid maternity leave and a phase back to work program for parents which is a critical element in retaining women who have started families. In addition Deutsche Bank has a corporate social responsibility policy and is involved in improving every community that it is involved in. Being involved in helping those who are less fortunate through education collaboration and being socially responsible in the community and environmentally makes me proud to work for the company.
Cons
The company is very large and spread over a lot of different locations. This makes it difficult to track down people and information internally. Althoug the bank is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it there doesn't look to be a good solution available yet.
