      I worked at BNY Mellon full-time

      Pros

      Great Company, listen to employees.

      Cons

      Money was not enough for someone living in Dublin as the cost of living is so high.

      Advice to Management

      Give more money to people who are good at their job, no point offering it when they are leaving, it is already too late

      Pros

      I really can't think of any.

      Cons

      Very toxic environment, people tend to blame others for everything. Very stressful job and management gave very harsh reviews.

      Advice to Management

      Your employees are people, respect the learning curve, don't base your judgement on rumors.

      Pros

      Professional organized first rate classy high standards good usa training limited Canada worldwide organization

      Cons

      Management lacks industry experience. .the only people promoted are lifers 7+ years. Last analyst promoted in 2012...no further or future promotions are scheduled. Work hard no promotions. Annual raise max is 2%. They look for reasons to not give you a good performance review. Bonus paid end of February but raises start in July each year. Most people quit after bonus so they never pay raise. Lots of worldwide jobs but they will never transfer you out of Canada. It's never happened but Americans get promoted to Canada. It's a job not a career place. Blame culture in full affect.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your staff but then again all in power are vice presidents so they know everything. Many haven't ever worked outside of bny Mellon but claim to know how 0the street runs.
