Pros
Berlin is a lively alternative city. Work life balance is quite good
Cons
DB Risk Centre is sold as a unique division of DB with great talents. However the level of workers is very uneven and it is not uncommon to see managers with no experience at all either managing or in banking. Turnover is incredibly high, around 1 year, which means: you go, realise it is not for you within one month and start looking somewhere else. Many people from Italy, Spain, Greece think they are offered a good salary compared to their countries, but the truth is that it is dramatically below the average for Germany. There were legal actions against DB Risk Centre for contracting people with salaries below legal minima. It is a compromise between Frankfurt and Mumbai: donkey work slightly cheaper than in the headquarter.
