Former Employee – worked at Deutsche Bank full-time

Pros – It's a major bank and therefore a good name on your resume. You are left alone to do your work - contact with managers and team members is minimal, it's entirely possible to go the whole day without speaking to anyone.

Cons – If the manager doesn't like you then you will go nowhere. The bonus pool is split between a few of the managers favorites, and has nothing to do with rewards for good work.

Promotion never happens - they always hire new people in from outside, so the only way to move up is to move on.

managers shout at employees. It's pretty much the opposite of a friendly fun place to work.
