Business Outlook

Pros

Soundness of BNYMellon's business practices; technology innovation; good people to work with; strength of business model and balance sheet; challenging, diversified work; diversified business model

Cons

Normal large organization politics; how work is prioritized is not strong; focus too down appears to be driven by quarterly results; Board needs to be upgraded with more progressive thought leadership. Senior management not in alignment with technology strategy; not sure that Nexen strategy will work and is a big bet we're making

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is decent (but not great with talent and knowledge constantly leaving) Good place for a first job, stepping stone or last job

Cons

Merits, bonus and job level information is extremely voodoo Internal transfers have compensation restrictions No true upward management or peer review No management direction (they ask you to create your own goals) Technology moves at a snail’s pace and is a complete mess
