U.S. Bank Employee Reviews about "culture"

Cons

Slow on innovation and promotion of its employees

Cons

Branches felt distanced from executive management. At times this could cause an awkward relationship between local branches culture and corporate culture.

Cons

Pay lower than industry, limited work life balance for this position

Cons

…TOO MANY MEETINGS. The engineering team culture is that every problem can be solved with a meeting or a call. I can rarely get a long stretch of time to write code, much less invest any time into career development, innovation or research. High percentage of contractors and offshore team members. Time difference makes it difficult to collaborate with offshore teams. Codebases are generally difficult to reason about. Getting permissions and software needed for everyday work can be frustrating when first starting. Slow PTO accrual.

Cons

A Bank that had a wonderful and very collegial culture has decided to 'do it by the numbers' in the style of JPMorgan. The fact is that the management team with a lot of McKinzey retreads who have little experience with and even less understanding of banking are doing a poor of the changeover, losing extremely valuable talent would help in the transition and offering very little in the way or reward to those who are sticking around...means to say that they won't be sticking around for long. Acquisition strategy is not a real winner either.

Cons

Over the last few years the times have changed drastically and the current culture is toxic. Well that is provided you’re not part of the “in crowd” and have worked for certain executives in the past as an in-store branch manager. Don’t expect to be promoted due to the politics involved at every level in management all the way to the top. There’s a major company wide reorganization happening and this place is letting go of everyone by position regardless of tenure, production, or even for those have been deemed the most prestigious of employees “Legends”. This place could care less, you’re just a number. No communication about layoffs and the leaders being named are inexperienced -but well connected - clowns who know that as long as they overuse famch key company words at all times (centrality, agile, holistic, etc.) they’ll sound more intelligent than they really are.

Cons

Not being considered a major competitor to the larger institutions.

Cons

Corporate culture overly consumed with sales pushing clients into products they did not need or understood. Competition between sales associates as we were not bankers we were product pushers everyone for themselves as bonus compensation determined by how many 'points' had been earned at the expense of customer service. Stretch goals unrealistic fostered product slamming and deceitful practices.

Cons

Nothing out of the ordinary, usual corporate issues.

Cons

Salary and benefit may not be as competitive as other banks.
