Access to colleagues across the globe promotes great diversity of thought and good knowledge sharing. Lots of opportunity to give back to the community through BNYM,s community partnership programme. Flat organisational structure. Ability to take on stretch assignments.

Cons

Very bureaucratic. Too dependent on expense management in terms of keeping analysts and share holders happy.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
