Pros
BNY Mellon was previously a fantastic company with strong values and a true client service focused atmosphere. I was proud to work here. Line managers allow you to take on many special projects so that you can grow both personally and professionally. Flexible work arrangements here are second to none.
Cons
The company has changed dramatically over the past year and more specifically since CEO Gerald Hassell took over for Bob Kelly. While cost cutting measures are critical to our stability and growth, employees are paying the price for expensive acquisitions that have not seen the ROI we expected. Employees have seen bonuses eliminated, Health Insurance benefits go downhill, a freeze on raises, a freeze on even managers buying coffee and donuts at a meeting. Employees have to use their own personal laptop and cell phone and travel to meetings with no reimbursement. Job "restructuring" singling people out for demotion. This is the nightmare we heard about that was the culture at The Bank of New York and it is now being revisited.
