Working at RBC and DB in London

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to consider between full-time offers at RBC and Deutsche Bank for Graduate Investment Banking roles in London. I was wondering if any of you working at RBC/Deutsche Bank could chip in on your experience at the bank and working culture. Prestige and deal flow/size is one thing, but working culture is equally important to me.

Thanks in advance!

 

It's the kind of question that wants to account for the fact that DB is cutting 18,000 jobs over 3-years, closed its trading/equities desks and has forced relocation and team switches as part of its internal reshuffling? So I want to hear internal (anonymously unrestricted) opinions on the matter. 

 

DB hands down... Although they've been declining in status over the past few years but still stands strong when compared with RBC, especially in Europe
