Overall very click-ish. Great values but you must have the correct team behind you. If you want work-life balance, look for something else.

Co-workers were good.
Work life balance environment.
Fun to work with Offshore team.

Very good organization but was time to move on to a more challenging task (s)

A regular work day is about as hectic as the next. Very fast paced, deadlines to meet on a weekly or monthly basis, team oriented, but most of all a great company to work for.

I have learned quite a lot in my 9 years employed at Silicon Valley Bank. I have been able to mature into the individual I am today, after modeling myself based on cultures and – more... values that SVB shares day in and day out. I have learned to be a succesful leader without using a title to define who I am as an individual. I have been a supervisor for over 6 years and been able to manage a team of 6 successfully based each of their own different personalities and not as a standard. Things that I would have done 9 years ago would not be as great as a positive as they are with the knowledge and growth that I have since being employed with SVB.

Silicon Valley Bank as a whole, has a great team of Managers and employees. If there was a hard part of my current role it would be the transitions of department re-structures that the bank faces every so often. Whether the change be good, bad or flatline, I have been able to manage my individual responsibilities as well as my direct reports. But to say the least, the most enjoyable time I have working at SVB is working with my team. Because we share the same goal as a sport team would. We want to be dedicated to the job, to one another and all the while to be successful. – less

I was happy to work at SVB as a consultant because they were in need of my skills and knowledge. Navigating the management ultimately limited my effectiveness due to internal disagreements.

Silicon Valley Bank is great place to work. The bank is growing and has a direction for excellence. One of the things that I most admired about Silicon Valley Bank is the culture. The bank ensures that their employees work for an institution where employees feel valued, part of the overall success of the company, and provides opportunities for individual – more... success and team/global achievement.

Management is very supportive and co-works have a team-oriented drive. I never woke up in the morning feeling the burden of having to go to work. Employees have fun and are able to express their creativity.

The bank offers outstanding compensation and benefits. – less

The Private Banking Dept. was set up for a special group of customers. Sensitive customer service always needed. Processing consumer loans was a new item for me to learn.
