Pros

- for juniors good way to get a lower team job in the Commerzbank later - good for tired consultants who like Frankfurt and don't want extensive travel anymore - some really bright colleagues, but they don't stay long

Cons

- CEO is tired, slow in understanding and highly political - Some partners give the impression of engagement on a tchacatchaca basis, but fail to deliver intellectual convincing ideas or results - was a good place two years ago with some strategic projects, even internationally, now more body leasing, project office, IT related and workbench for the bank - image in the bank has gone to the negative side

Pros

Getting the name on your resume, and you may learn something if you are in the right deparment. The company seemed very flexible in terms of letting staff take time off for personal reasons, one colleague getting six months off to go on a round the world trip. Good work life balance overall. Also, the company supports employees who wish to further their professional education.

Cons

The Commerzbank is a gerontocratically run institution...gray hair is the key to success here. Generally, there is a highly bureaucratic feel to the place, and there is little scope for autonomous thought. Also, it is a very conservative environment, though I guess no more than you might expect from a German bank. Oh, and salaries are determined according to a general schedule (like the one used for bureaucrats and army personnel in the US).
