Pros

It was a remote position.

Cons

Despite advocating for a flat hierarchy and boasting about being the best workplace among other banks, I found myself in situations that contradicted these claims. For instance, my manager asked me to complete a task on a Sunday during the elections in May. Additionally, when I needed to take my cat to the vet, I was instructed to take a day off, citing previous permissions I had requested for similar situations. I worked for them as a consultant, and although they asserted there was no distinction between in-house employees and consultants, there was a noticeable difference in treatment. As such, I would advise reconsidering if you're contemplating working for them as a consultant.

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.
