Pros

Benefits are OK. A lot of managers are very fair with treatment and hours worked outside of business hours , compensating them and granting time for personal affairs and appointments. You learn new technologies and methodologies. Ok oportunities to grow.

Cons

Everybody is a manager and a boss. Processes are convoluted and what it is depends on who you ask and what day it is. You have to deal with people who take it upon themselves to put you down with backhanded comments. The company promotes an environment of cooperation and teamwork, but , the implementation from managers in key areas is not there. Backhanded and out of place comments are a natural daily occurence that you either have to deal with or be out the door. It is a very stressfull environment for those people that actually work. If you demonstrate you are competant they will milk you and the person who is not doing anything can continue to not do anything or care regardless.

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
