Pros

Some smart people. Some people are friendly

Cons

In 20 years of my career, I have never hated any company like I hate BNY Mellon. A total dictating culture. They took away bonus they promised and claimed that’s because you were rated as below expectation, even when you have already worked very hard. They took away work from home even that’s the setup when signing the contract. They force you to resign so they don’t need to pay a package. No dignity! Hard to believe we work for a big company. A big wave of people resigned voluntarily. I will resign soon because I’d rather leave this sh*thole then staying there suffering everyday. For anyone who consider working here, please read the reviews carefully.

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.
