We continue to observe Amazon-style leadership within Pete’s organization, where cliques are formed, and positional power is leveraged to micromanage employees. This has led undermining of bank employees while favoring those with biased ties to Amazon. Narayan, the head of product, lacks technological expertise and is disconnected from customer communication. He often repeats himself in meetings, micromanages, and withholds critical information. Narayan's close ties with Ajit, another problematic hire, and presence of other amazon leaders within U.S. Bank are causing significant challenges. This situations highlights clear example of Amazon-style nepotism infiltrating Pete’s leadership organization.

Shocking with engineering leadership aligns with Narayan, which raises questions given his close association with Anirudh. Both Narayan Subramaniam and Anirudh live in the same state and have previously worked together at Amazon. They are both interesting personalities, endorsed by Ian Eslick, who seems to have little understanding of the banking business. Ultimately, it’s the U.S. Bank employees and trustees who may bear the consequences of these high-salary appointments.
We will see huge shakeup in coming 2 months, going to be lot of pain for sure. Be prepared.
Awaiting action from senior leadership or HR regarding Narayan Subramaniam’s behavior, which appears to involve nepotism. There have been multiple instances where individuals from his previous company, who report directly to him, have undermined U.S. Bank employees. These individuals have also publicly claimed in meetings that we work in different areas, but this statement is far from the reality of the situation, further raising concerns.
LOL, U.S. Bank, N.A. is NOT a wholly owned subsidiary of a Japanese financial giant.
Sounds like an Indian. Why am I not surprised.
I do not know who this Narayan fella is but anyone coming out from Amazon/AWS I am skeptical about .... as they're mostly hot air.
The entire banking operation from top to bottom may be outsourced to Mitsubishi Financial within the next 18 months anyway, U.S. Bank, N.A. a wholly owned subsidiary of a Japanese financial giant.
Several close associates of Narayan, who report directly to him and work remotely, are exploiting USB's trusted employees. Their actions have significantly contributed to the organizations's financial loss and decline in its overall value.
These ex-amazon leaders are depleting financial resources under the guise of cloud migration, leveraging the process to consolidate control. Similarly, Principal Engineers tasked for cloud migration uses overly complex English dictionary in conversation to assert dominance, framing cloud migration with complex terminology. On a related noted, a USB leaders has moved across various organization over the past two decades, without achieving significant project success which has been key factor in financial losses experienced by USB.
This isn’t new behavior usb has always been this way. They just don’t hide it anymore and with continual realignments and re-organizations it’s more exposed. This company is not a good company to work for especially if you’re working in innovation or technology. Most of the jobs are going to be outsourced by the end of 2025 anyway.
