Pros

Provides a reasonable introduction to the financial world. Low risk work as BNY-M mainly provides financial utilities to the rest of the industry. Stable environment - change is slow, travel is avoided. What knowledge there is, is available for sharing. Easy work.

Cons

Complete lack of innovation - leads to inflexibility and inefficiency. Excessive layers of middle management means that incorrect or ineffective decisions are taken, combined with a lack of responsibility. Managers often lack sufficient knowledge to do their job. No clear direction on where the company is headed. Career advancement is challenging even though staff turnover is worryingly high.

Pros

Some great people with a good attitude though promotion isn't always based on work. The benefits are good. There are opportunities when the economy is going well and the bank is expanding.

Cons

The many many levels of management can be a challenge. One can easily get "lost" and there was a large feeling if dissent amongst the lower ranks. This dissent was infectious and surely would spread from one area to another. The overall size can make it feel impersonal and also make it tough to have issues resolved.

Pros

Friendly people, don't really care about what goes on. Do your work and you are fine within the organization.

Cons

Don't expect to move ahead unless you plan on being there for 20 or more years. And even then it's doubtful. Be prepared to fill out hundreds of forms to do the simplest of tasks.
