Pros

The firm is well respected and is not going anywhere. I received great exposure as an intern and really felt I became a member of my line of business. I think the team mentality is a tremendous asset to the firm, as is its new business model. The merger was a great thing for the industry and for both firms. BNY Mellon will be a formidable bank in years to come.

Cons

Though the merger has been a great thing for the company, competing ideologies still exist. The company is well regarded, offers great products but still can not figure out whether Pittsburgh or New York runs the bank. At times it can be too political between legacy Mellon and legacy Bank of New York employees.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

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.
