Challenged and supported - I love my job!

Business Outlook

Pros

As a Project Manager in the Engineering department, I have the opportunity to support multiple initiatives across multiple lines of business. Dedicated to Agile practices, things are very fast-paced here. An entrepreneurial, self-directed approach is encouraged for problem-solving and issue resolution. In my view, BBVA is a tech company that sells banking products and services while putting the customer first, versus other banks where they are catching up to engage customers digitally. Every day is a new opportunity around here - and one that I look forward to each day. My tip to new applicants: when interviewing, provide specific examples of how your experience will apply to the new position.

Cons

I came in as a contract worker and after 18 months converted to a full time employee of BBVA Compass. However, it was worth the wait in order to convert to the right position for my skillset.

Pros

Management is working hard to move the software teams in the right direcction. Progress is being made as sofware teams are applying best practices.

Cons

It a big ship to turn around and a lot of resistance to the needed changes to make the company a true software shop.

Pros

Amazing team, culture and product mix. I'm most grateful to work here.

Cons

Benefits - please consider offering multiple benefit options which can lower the annual out of pocket max. I almost didn't join BBVA because of the high out of pocket max. Also, please consider providing large screens for MBO's. The strain on our eyes, and necks are excessive trying to see the screen. Also, the base salary should not be inclusive of outside commissions, per the market. Both Wells Fargo and Chase offer a $30,000 salary with commission above that. With our first dollars coming out of the base salary makes us one of the lowest paid MBO's who work in a bank.
