Pros

Allowed to make your own career path and can make a difference if you put the time and work in. Benefits Casual work environment

Cons

Original founding members left and so did the quality of Sr. mgmt. They sold out for the money and left the company in the hands of there loyal employees. Brought in Sr. Mgmt members that are inept at running the company, and just fall in line with BNYMellon large corporation way. Lot's its innovative swager.

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.
