BNY Software Engineer reviews

Where do I start? Toxic environment for a graduate, minimal support, everyone is too busy/ looking out for themselves to give proper training to grads. Speed is prioritised over understanding and learning which was horrible as a grad- especially when the programme stated no prior experience required. Lots of micromanagement and very rigid + overly long processes required for simple code changes. There is also sexist managers and lots of ageism/ they only listen if you have a higher title than them. I would avoid BNY at all costs.

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
