BBVA Compass Employee Reviews for Senior Programmer Analyst

What do you like about working at BBVA Compass?

"It's well paid, it's local, a few of my colleagues are supportive and keen to learn."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Use BBVA Compass as a place to be well paid whilst hardening yourself to the realities of corporate America. After working here for a year or two, you'll be very well prepared to work for smaller, more adaptive, more entrepreneurial companies and really appreciate their worth. But don't get caught in the golden handcuffs!"

What don't you like about working at BBVA Compass?

"Politics means that managers don't lead, they defend or attack. There's inadequate training, so many people don't know if they're doing the right thing. Too much depends on knowledge stuck in individuals heads, so there is a reliance on heroes, who work too hard, complain, yet defend their status by refusing to share their knowledge."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Flatten the org chart so management and staff work more closely. Use dedicated teams to work on specific single projects. Recognize achievements. Massively improve internal communications. Improve the work environment to support teamwork. Pay bonuses to teams, not to individuals."
