Pros

The 16 week parental leave policy, 7% 401k match, and vacation are great benefits. The terms around the benefits are getting worse each year, but these specific benefits themselves are still good.

Cons

The culture isn't great regardless of where you sit in the organization. Both middle management and top management are getting worse year after year. I have worked in several separate lines of business over my time with BNYM and each had its different styles of working and personalities, but all were toxic environments. If you do find one of the few smaller pockets with a good management hierarchy, you may want to stay in it, but then you are limiting yourself with opportunity and a higher salary which is already below market average compared to similar roles in the same cities.

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.
