Commerzbank reviews

Very slow or no promotion, expecially if you're not German. Excellence is not rewarded nor encouraged. IT systems from Stone Age makes working conditions frustrating. No bonus in most of the cases. Restructuring and offshoring to Eastern Europe always under discussion.

Difficult to progress career above a certain point without native German language Senior management (especially in Germany) tend to stay at the bank long term, which combined with German employment law makes it very difficult to introduce / promote fresh thinkers into the upper circles When markets get difficult bank has a habit of retrenching back to Germany making it difficult to maintain healthy client relationships internationally Poor communication on most matters from senior management
