      Pros

      I have heard other complain about work life balance but in my department that is taken seriously. I have volunteered to handle things on my vacation and my manager has been adamant that unless it is a special case that vacations are days off and she makes me find someone else to handle the task.

      Cons

      I think that most departments are not flexible to handle other development tasks although I hear that may change. The result is there are times where one department may be overwhelmed and has to work extreme schedules while another department is scrambling to find stuff to do. Another complaint is poor planning. I was trained to be a scrum master but there are no currently no open scrum master positions. Also there is a talent development plan but is less interactive than in the past to the point that I don't see any value in it at all.

      Pros

      BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

      Cons

      That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
