Pros

Offices all over the world; very big company and a leader in the financial industry.

Cons

They are too obsessed with cost cutting. They fail to understand that if you invest enough in people, technology, and infrastructure, that investment will result in greater profitability. Instead, they prefer to lay people off, provide insufficient funding to get things done, and expect client officers to figure out how to spin this to the clients without revealing the truth that BNY is cheap. Raises are minimal every year. My raises have been about 1% / $1,000 a year since my company became part of BNY Mellon. Thankfully I got really good raises before we were acquired, so now I'm at an affordable income level.

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.
