"Culture is better than other organizations. Empathy is valued. Make sure you advocate for your pay from the beginning in your offer. I learned after years with the bank that my pay is under the minimum of the pay scale for my role and advised by my manager this is acceptable as long as its no more than 20% than the mid point. Morale downgrade with this information. Salary ranges are now posted so ensure you are compensated fairly from the start. "

"I'm learning a ton. I feel supported by my manager and beyond with my "buddy". Internal comms does a great job of keeping everybody in the loop/on the same page. Business partners & collaborators are smart, friendly and open/available. Benefits & comp are on par/better than my last few employers. I've experienced a remote-first culture, which is great for me as I'm not located near a hub. Department & C-Suite leadership seem to really care--about employees, about clients, about the work, about our communities. Appears to be a ton of runway in my role and broadly throughout the company. I'm surrounded by a good mix of people who have been with SVB for 15+ years and under 2 years that help keep the existing culture/what's made SVB grow, while bringing in new ideas. My only "look before you leap" for other women would be if you are looking to start/grow a family, parental leave is 12 weeks, low side of average. "

"Very easy to get burnt out - company runs lean and there is always more work that can be done. Focus more on relationship building internally and in the ecosystem to have long-term success at SVB. "

"Plenty of women in leadership positions and there is no gender bias when it comes to promotion. Face time is still considered important so this means that work life balance isn't great as the client comes first."

"SVB is a fine stepping stone if you are coming from another company and they offer you a better position. But be prepared to stay in that position or move to another company in order to grow. Also - there are very few women in leadership positions."
