Pros
Passion is a great descriptor for BV. They are passionate about their client's success, passionate about being best-in-class, passionate about working hard and pushing the envelope, and passionate about their mission to make a tangible impact on an industry. The company is young (years in business, average age of employees, and average age of leadership) which makes it agile, fearless, and have a bit of a swagger. Having worked for companies with 15 employees and companies with 3,000 employees, I've found BV to be an exciting place to work and as fair and transparent as a 300 employee company can be. Like any company, you'll find the occasional bad nut that ends up being a squeaky wheel, but employee satisfaction is high and the vast majority of the team is fired up about and laser focused on delivering results. BV has had it's stumbles and the leaders don't get it right every time, but they strive to hold true to the values the company was founded on. This company WILL achieve it's goals and WILL change the banking industry. I'm contacted regularly by recruiters and can honestly say there's no where I'd rather be.
Cons
Some of the same pro's can also be their con's... they are passionate and they are young. They have had missteps because they acted too quickly. They will probably have more. That said, if I had a choice between a company that never dropped a ball because they never took any chances and a company that has a specific audacious destination in mind. I'll jump on that later train every time.
