Pros

The bank of New York Mellon is a multicultural company, employees are very young, these 2 factors make the company attractive for young workers.The company gives good opportunity to learn about the "working" environment and to win experience . Good pay at a start.

Cons

Too much work for too less employees, overtime is frequent and does not leave space for family life. This is indeed not the place to stay if you want to have a life after your job. no recognition for the hard work and very slow salary evoluation when not stagnation. Only 40% of the bank population receives a profit sharing based on performances but this seems very subjective. Too much "rules"

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.
