Posting for a “friend” lol
I work at SVB - while not in IT/Engineering, it’s the best company I’ve ever worked for. The commitment to their employees is unreal.
I work for SVB (non-IT) and can vouch for it too! Amazing workplace with talented colleagues. Their bonus is significantly higher than industry and their RSUs start at Director level (M4 onwards).

I went through the process. No offer. The people I met and spoke with seemed really smart (except for not giving me an offer lol) and their tech stack looked reasonably current. As for compensation I don’t have my notes in front of me but the compensation was really good for banking. Not FANG but darn close, except for the RSUs of course. The role I applied for was management of a tech team and I think base was going to be $200k. Maybe more, the interview was last year and I don’t remember.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
RSUs are what put FANG offers well above other companies. So why do you think SVB is damn close to FANG even though there are no RSUs?
