Deutsche Bank

"Really depends on your manager. There are gems here, and others who are not so great. "

"Deutsche Bank has put quite an emphasis on building an inclusive and diverse culture. "

"DB's policies and culture support working women. I feel supported at work"

"The Americas CEO, Christiana Riley, has centered people, culture, and DEI in her leadership agenda. The benefits (health, wellbeing, financial and social) have always been competitive and inclusive. The hybrid working model is going well; many people are in the office 2 or 3 days a week. (Some front office and client facing need to be in more.) The new NYC HQ office building is fantastic and makes coming to the office enjoyable. There are lots of ways to connect with colleagues and the DEI employee resource groups are very active. There is a public global commitment to increase the representation of women in leadership positions and DB is making good progress towards that goal. It's a fast-paced environment with opportunities to make an impact. "

"I feel as though all genders are supported and treated equally in the workplace. There are many resources for working parents."

"Men and women are treated and supported equally within the Bank. My experience has been positive, and I highly recommend Deutsche Bank as an employer! "

"You have to put yourself out there, but it is worth it!"

"Be prepared to work several years before getting a promotion and understand that you will be required to do the role that you are being promoted to for an entire year or more before you get the promotion and pay for the promotion."

"Deutsche Bank has made great strides with diversity and inclusion. DB champions women to succeed and grow within the company."

"The environment is very supportive of woman and ensuring they have equal opportunities to thrive and advance."

"At Deutsche Bank, experience beneficial partnerships with ample opportunities for growth!"

"Compared to other companies and jobs, I believe Deutsche Bank is doing the right thing and making the moves to help support women excel. If you are looking to change roles and employers, DB is worth looking into. "

"Deutsche Bank has created an open and welcoming culture that allows employees to use their voice and enjoy their working environment. It's a great place to challenge yourself, advance your career and work with great people!"

"Work/life balance in terms of hours and also being able to step out when needed has generally been great and do think that DB is dedicated to improving diversity, equity and inclusion. However, I have also seen many instances were men have taken credit for the work of women, sexual harassment, and women being penalized for maternity leave. Overall, it is a great plan for women to work but like many other large financial institutions, there is room to improve."

"Deutsche Bank has really thought a lot about diversity and inclusion in the past few years particularly since when US had appointed a female CEO. The firm has endeavored to institutionalize changes as a result: Recruiting / hiring policies have changed, greater accountability from senior managers are mandated; increase in initiatives on D&I are developed. DB has come a long way since I started working here over 15 yrs ago. I'm now proud to tell people where I work."

"Deutsche Bank has managers that really care about you obtaining work life balance. This company has the most effective top-quality benefits programs of a corporation that I have seen in the many years that I have been employed. This is so essential for working women especially those that have life changing events such, marriage, children, divorce, illness, and being a care-giver. It is so important that you have an Employer that really understands and provides the resources to help you to be able to deal with these life changing events. It is commendable."

"Flexibility is team specific, so it's important to understand what your team offers and use existing levels of diversity as a gauge. In the US, our CEO (Christiana) is a phenomenal role model, and the bank has set targets for promoting women to leadership positions. We have good policies in place (e.g., generous maternity leave); however, culture takes time to shift and not everyone is on board to support change. You have some leaders championing diversity and flexibility, and others who lack empathy."

"I was given an executive role and seat at the table day 1. I have proved myself in other organizations and was overlooked for similar leadership positions. DB has changed significantly in recent years and continue their commitment to DE&I is impressive. "

"Deutsche Bank has really made strides forward for in the workplace in hiring and promoting women. Deutsche Bank has several Employee Resource Groups for women and is an inclusive place to work. Leadership starts at the top and it is fantastic to have Christiana Riley as the America's CEO. "

"Deutsche Bank is an incredibly inclusive place to work, with a focus on Diverse and Female hires. "

"Flexibility with hours in office really helps with appointments, school pickups, etc."

"Deutsche bank is a great place to work! I'm supported here and I'm learning a ton! Highly recommend to women and minorities. "

"Deutsche Bank is a place that is constructive and full of growth. This is a very happy place to work, and I feel especially valued as a woman for my contributions."

"It's a good place for women to work, I feel equal and my boss and co-workers welcome my ideas"

"DB is a great place to start your career as a young woman. There is a lot of support for promotions and self advocacy. The work life balance is also great compared to the American banks. "

"I've been working with DB for 6 years and have had great experience and success in the men-dominated environment. I've always felt support from my group heads (who are men) who have always been invested in my development and success in the workplace. DB itself also has a lot of development programs (such as Maximize Achievement Program for high performing female VPs) and affiliate groups (such as Women of Wall Street (WOWS)) to support women's career development and networking opportunities across the bank. This is a great place to work as you always feel that your managers are invested in your growth and success. "

"Some way to go perhaps but this is not unique to DB. "

"I've been at Deutsche Bank for a year and have been impressed and pleasantly surprised by the support for women at the bank. Not only is my team comprised of mostly women but I joined the ERG for women at the bank which has been a great experience. The ERG has help multiple events and everyone has been very supportive. I've also experience good work/life balance and flexibility with my schedule on the days that that I need to come in. "

"Great place to work. DB values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."

"Set firm boundaries, do not hesitate to move internally till you find supportive manager and then only expect growth."

"Deutsche Bank was a great place to work. I had both my kids while working here. I appreciated the support and flexibility I had when returning to work. "

"The culture is great and colleagues are very helpful and supportive."

"Your experience will vary widely depending on your manager. There are no 360 degree reviews, people are rarely promoted and the review process is not taken seriously so your boss would treat you well only out of human decency. The good people here were the best in the industry and have sadly been leaving (1-2/month per department). The people who remain are competing for such few promotions and they have a chance only because more qualified people were not promoted and left - so they will ruthlessly destroy reputations and complain, complain, complain in a hope to get promoted before the company can hire additional people and become less dependent on them. Senior management is genuinely good quality and cares about talent and diversity and it’s possible that they may be successful in bringing change but they are also busy fighting fires. "

"Very few senior women exist in the organization and the culture is not conducive to more. "

"This is a great place to work and still be able to raise a family."

"Maternity leave is generous and the phase back to work is great. "

"Your experience will largely be driven by your team. If you're on a good team, your experience can be good. If you're on a lousy team, it may stink. Even with that, their HR team leaves much to be desired. They heavily rely on technology to support all HR functions and it's very hard to get support from a person even if it's a matter that's appropriate for escalation."

"There's much more gender balance in the support infrastructure functions (e.g. Compliance. Operations) compared to the Global Banking front office which still significantly lags."

"Make sure you find the right manager, that makes all the difference. "

"It is a challenging stressful work environment which can be occasionally rewarding."

"For anyone, getting promoted is difficult, and a raise only occurs when you are promoted. Negotiate the highest pay possible when you join. It is very difficult for a female to get recognition. An astonishing number of male employees who are younger than 35 have outdated attitudes about females."

"In the US its a very challenging atmosphere where impact is expected immediately "

"Be self motivated and learn to navigate the various systems at work early , do not get involved in the division dynamics too much and ask for what you need"

"Great leave policies and great return to work benefits for new mothers. Flexibility depends on individual boss "

"Company in turmoil due to Management changes and fines and penalties"

"Negotiate your entry level and salary upfront since it will require a few years before to get a paid raise"

" While they say all the right things about promoting women and work life balance the reality is just the opposite. "

"Countless situations where deserving women are not promoted. Sexist attitudes. Women who are mothers are treated with suspicion about their commitment to the job. There is no one culture - some managers are good but senior management not supportive of women."

"Let your boss know what your expectations are. Try to stay relevant and close to your boss. "

"while most large ib's tend to have very similar policies, and issues around retaining women (and db has all of them) bad management and a shambles of an evaluation process makes it particularly bad. "

"Explore with open eyes."

"null"

"Maternity leave is very generous, 16 weeks full pay, option for 8 more weeks at 60% pay. Bonus and salary have not increased for 3 years and don't see that getting better any time soon."

"I have several years of consulting background. I find it very slow paced compared to what I have been used to my whole career so far. It's not very competitive either (of course those who don't share the background with me would feel differently). The benefits seem to be better than other places. But people in cost centers don't get raises for years unless they are promoted, poor bonuses, promotions are mostly based on long tenures. Of course it can vary from one department to the other. But this is my impression."

"Male dominate network. Weak window dressing attempts to provide opportunities to woman. Not a particularly supportive woman to woman network...as the woman are so busy jockeying for position. Dead-end careers for women."

"Women do not get promoted as quickly as the men."
