First Citizens Bank Reviews

FCB management has displayed complete insensitivity to everything SVB stood for and everything SVBers have worked tirelessly to build. At SVB, I felt like I mattered as an individual. Whenever anything traumatic happened, we were cared for and had a support group with one another. In just these few weeks, that culture has been dismantled and leadership has gone from caring to micromanaging, nitpicking and criticizing. It really feels like the past few years of hard work to care for SVB clients is meaningless now. And that's extraordinarily sad. Also, as of yesterday's layoffs, FCB has sent a clear message that diversity, equity and inclusion is not important to them whatsoever. Consider yourself warned if you identify with a marginalized group.

FCB treated me horribly. I was part of an acquired bank. They changed my manager, then took my team from me without telling me about it. I found out about it at the same time as 500 other people on a zoom call. Before that, my new manager never once spoke to me, in nearly two months. After they moved me to yet another manager when my team was taken from me, that person had no information to share and ignored me for a few weeks more until I just left. I understand business realities and can accept them, but all of this could have been handled in a couple of 5-minute conversations telling me that the team I built would be taken from me and split up, and that there was no real role for me moving forward. It’s not that hard. Awful people skills and management. They pretend that they care about their people. They don’t, Don’t work here.
