Pros

Germany's biggest bank and a global leading investment bank. Loads of people from all over the world. Very successful company. Loads of motivated, smart, hardworking people who really get things done.

Cons

Deutsche Bank is a bank. If you are a banker or like banks, its perfect. It is a very big organization 100k employees and comes with all the bureaucratic red tape of a large organization. Innovation is one of the articulated core values, but hardly anyone is really innovative, understands what this means. You can build a career if you fit into the framework. If not, even if you do extremely valuable work, you wont progress. Very political organization, risk-taking and decision making not encouraged
