SVB - how is the work culture, total comp for a senior SWE? Planning to take some interviews there
Pretty young in my career, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but the culture is great. Pretty much no one is a hardass, almost to our detriment because everyone is so nice... sometimes too nice. Management is invested in your development, and executives are VERY focused on improving employee engagement. On the commercial bank side, you won’t get paid what you get paid at other more traditional banks, but you also won’t work crazy hours. Senior associates make $90K base, with up to ~15% bonus.
Culture is top notch and employee centric. Pay is competitive. I’ve been offered more at other places (not a HUGE difference) but the work/life balance keeps me at SVB. Benefits are standard. Bonuses are very good. We work really really hard and ant a very faced pace....so if your looking to phone it in...SVB is not for you. I actually like the people I work with.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
