Commerzbank reviews

Many unprofessional people around, poor communication within and between teams; extended integration that's been a complete business failure to date with undfined processes and lack of coordination between departments; daunting atmosphere in investment banking branch as many business are being terminated or not supported as too risky or not-in-the-focus.

> below-market compensation > very political > Absolutely no respect for employees. Senior management treats the entire division as if it's being done a favor for working for the bank. Important strategic decisions are communicated poorly or not at all > too flat; unable to attract talent from other banks > business model is focused on the German market; very little prospect of growth otherwise > No-can-do mentality, very beaurocratic, with few shining exceptions > below-par support functions (IT etc.) *ensure* daily obstacles to doing business > Recruitement policy (getting people fresh out-of-college and developing them) means there is practically no inflow of experienced people and the business remains "esoteric". > As many departments are under- or not developed (eg brokerage), it is difficult to compete against banks that offer services across the entire IB spectrum
