Pros

Strong focus on DE&I initiatives and offer many Employee Resource Groups. Work from home offered for tech staff. Flexible work schedules if not in a client deliverable type role.

Cons

Do not believe the "advertised" company core values. Staff do not have the freedom to speak-up. There is so much change and aggressive financial targets, people no longer matter go senior leadership, just hitting the #s. Headcount is cut before tech automation delivery, those left behind have to work unsustainable long hours and no longer have work-life balance. Turnover is at an all-time high and burnout is at an alarming level. Internal promotions are only possible one-time a year. You can get the higher job and responsibilities, just not the appropriate pay. Operations staff do not have the same flexible work arrangements to WFH as the tech staff do. Company is being led by tech staff who do not understand operations. While wellbeing and learning/development resources are available, staff do not use them because there is no time permitted. BNYM was at one time a great company to work for. I no longer recommend the place for employment.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
