Pros

The company is moving from the dark ages into a progressive place to work. The focus on securities servicing and moves away from other traditional bank products should provide a more predictable earnings stream, so long as the time horizon on investments is beyond the quarterly earnings report.

Cons

Merging of BNY and Mellon is going to take another couple of years. Houston business has been downsizing through an agressive, but questionable, transfer of jobs to Pittsburgh. This is going to take years to recover from. BNY bought the dominant JPMorgan Corporate Trust CDO business and got more than it could handle.

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.
