Pros

- team is full of cool people that care about doing quality work - not a lot of micromanaging on my team, very understanding - office is very nice with a cafeteria and free coffee bar - work is pretty easy and low stress

Cons

- constant repeal of flexibility. Forced 4 day RTO for no good reason - pay isn’t great, very tough to grow - lots of corporate buzzwords and feeding to shareholders (AI) than actually caring about employees - very monotonous, button-pushy work. Not great for career-driven people

Pros

Good only if you have no other job lined up

Cons

Management is force ranking 25% of their staff as needs improvement for their mid year reviews. This 25% will then be laid off and not paid any bonus or severance. Horrible work environment.

Pros

High compensation and bonus but no compensation clarity.

Cons

BNY has made a clear line in the sand that their policies are to support the business and shareholders. As a company, that do not care about their employees and often would rather fire through monthly RIFs than develop.
